    Default Purple digi turned brown.

    I have a purple digi that is pretty much stagnant. It's lost it's vibrant color (for about a couple of months), stopped growing, polyp extensions is not good, but it's not losing any flesh. Nothing is too close to it, so no coral wars going on.

    I have two other digis (green and red) that are thriving. Vibrant with good polyp extension.

    What gives? Anybody have an idea on how to bring this thing back to glory?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    I've had similar issues. I think it has to do with lighting and trace elements. Which one's I'm not sure. I had about half my montis receed after trying a couple batches of Get Tanked salt. That salt is quite a bit different than my normal, Tropic Marin.

    I would try moving it into a different place in the tank, if everything else is doing great then it may not like its placement.

    Flow, Flow, Flow.... Like Tim said, It probably doesn't like its placement.
