I know green star polyps are among the easiest softies to keep, but mine are losing colour. Any idea how to reverse this, anyone?

Lighting could be the cause. I assume its not lumi green sP. Lumi GSP is easy to maintain the green.

Tank Theme: Mixed Reef with clams

3 feet tank with IOS

Eheim 1262

K3 wavemaker x1

Lightings: T5 actinic blue x4 , T5 white x4

Skimmer: BMQQ

Artica 1/5

Dosing: NA

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

Dosing: I do 20% water change weekly. You think water is lacking in iodine and trace? In that case, I might stop using activated carbon.

Lighting: I use 4 HO T5's (two whites, two blues) for 60 litre tank. Too bright? Too dim? The neon GSP still holding out, but the "normal" GSP losing colour.

My xenia (specie with a thick stalk) ain't doing well either. But the "normal" xenia (polyp type) doing well.

Funny.

Hi bro, how to differentiate lumi and non-lumi star?

Do we put them under blue lighting to compare the luminosity or it is visible bare eye on daylight lighting?

I am still trying to figure out if my "Bali star" coral is a lumi or non lumi star polyp.

I think its mainly due to lack of light, i've has similar issues before with most gsp either loosing color or not opening up properly.

If you want the green to stand out more, i suggest you add another tube or 2 of blue light and move them to the top of the tank in good flow and light..
