I have had some Monti's & 1 Acro that are not up to par on what there color should be.I have some pictures.

A Frag I bought a month or so ago, that was brown with yellow polyps when I got it.
Today:

This next Monti I have had for 5 months.It was brown, then colored up to neon green in about 8 weeks.But now seems as if it may be dying.Because there is purple corraline Growing on it.But it is still encrusting.
Today:

This here Monti I bought for a steal, and I don't know what kind of growth is happening there.I have noticed some
But not much.It has been 6 weeks.No color up at all.Which, I mean I have seen monti's that didn't color up for 8 months.
Today:

Here is a Green Birdsnest that got hit pretty bad with RTN (Rapid Tissue Necrosis), due to a clam dying.But I think it is trying to make a comeback, because some of the tissue survived, and I am starting to see litter polyps on parts of it.It was thriving before the RTN, so it was a heartbreaker.
