Superman Monti...is healthy...but red!

[Sokretys]

yeah so i went to the manhattenreefs frag swap a few months ago or less. i got a superman monti frag that looked great in the vendors tank. now...all of its polys are open. which i know doesnt always indicate a healthy coral. but alll of my other sps are doing amazing. even more delicate sps frags i brought back from the same trip have grown never mind colored up.

needless to say...im concerned about my prize. any thoughts?

150 w 14000 K hqi

2x24w HO T5 actinics.

29gallon reef with cpr hang on aquafuge with built in skimmer.

800+ gph.

B-Ionic used properly.

everything tests fine. nutrient levels are testing Zero.

Thanks!

My superman montipora has lost all signs of blue. the polys and skeletonb are both red. it does not...look like a superman monti anymore. any idea as to why?
