Default ORA Red Planet Green?

My Red Planet is a deep green. Does this mean it has too much light or not enough?

Here is the top view of my frag and you can see the green base w red polyps. It's growing nice and the polyps are always out. I think it's healthy....

The more light that you give it the more red it will be. Then just the base would be green
