Browned out tricolor

Please reserve in advance - will not bring to swap if not reserved in advance.

Browned out Tricolor colony - about the size of medium sized fist - $25. Originally purchased from a guy in snohomish a couple years ago for $50-$60. It did well initially with growth, and nice bright yellow extended polyps, nice bright purple tips, but now it is just brown If your good with brownouts (and I know there are some of you out there that have had great luck bringing these guys back to their original state), this is a chance to get a decent sized tricolor.

before and after shots below:

Before:

Now: (see where base is receeding a bit)

my theory is that it needs lower light. I currently have it in a 55 gal under two 250 MHs.
PM me

UPDATE: Sold to fragman

 

[Fragman]

I would like to take on your browned out tri-color for $25. Please bring it to the meeting.

wwoouu that's a very nice coral class clown

 

[class clown]

Fragman - consider it your's. Please PM me your cell phone #, and estimated time of arrival at the swap. thanks!

 

[Ed Hahn]

Class clown,
I was taught that a coral bleaching from bottom is a sign of not enough light. I was taught a coral bleaching from the top is sometimes a sign of too much light to quickly. Someone correct me if I am wrong. That is a nice piece.

 

[class clown]

Ed - I was taught the same (don't worry, your not crazy well at least not in that respect :lol: :lol: ).. that's what I can't figure out with this one. I've tried moving up in the water column and down.. neither seems to do much good for me. I figured it was just too much light no matter what. I figure maybe a change of venue would do some good.

Also - honestly, I've had it for a couple years now and once it browned out I didn't pay much attention to it. The bottom bleaching could have been caused because it was shoved in the back and maybe the bottom was in an area where it didn't get too much light or something.. Truthfully, I dunno, but that seems like a logical explanation.

Thanks for the compliments btw.. I've seen it in its glory days and it has a lot of potential for the new owner (reefman)!!!

 

[salmonslayer]

3 tan frags with neon green polyps (left to right cost = $6, $5, $4)
