SRC Member ml708 Posted February 3, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is there any distinct advantage and are certain colour morphs restricted to certain locations or are they just mutants that are selectively bred? Can sps change colour apart from browning out of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member ml708 Posted February 3, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2015 The white morph is so hardy it needs no maintenance! Ah so meaning a blue sps can turn green or something in a different environment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Firestarter Posted February 3, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes depending on your light spectrum as well. Sps colours differ from diff light. Sometimes you buy a sps from reefer tank look very nice but under your own lights it look different colour.also some sps will turn green before brown... Now white sps is the in thing. One lfs is selling white sps. Can go check it out. Hurry before it turns into tonga rock!! 6 Quote Sometimes the good guys gotta do bad things to make the bad guys pay. - Harvey Specter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
