hmm... doesn't quite look as "bubbly" and round to me but there's a resemblance. i'll try again later to see if i can get a better picture.

help

okay so im pretty sure its a favia.... looks really similar from what i can tell but now i have another problem... its turning brown and i dont know if its because of my lights? in total i only have 10.1 watts, the led light that comes with this aquarium is 5.5 watts with 9 small white led's and 6 blue( i have the option of white and blue or just blue). then i have a truelumen 3 watt led that has 2 white led's (12,000k) and 2 blue led's (453nm), and then i have a third small lamp from a 3g pico by dymax that is all white led's a total of 1.6 watts that i leave on only for 4 hours... i dont want to bleach them but why would they be turning brown?
