Quite a while ago someone sold me a Hammer they said was all white. Well it was but after a number of months in my tank, under stronger lights, it changed color and you wouldn't call it a "white" Hammer anymore.
Bizzare it is definetly White tipped. The camera does not do it justice but definetly white. The stalks have darkened a little more than they were. I'm starting to think it is an Aussie Peach. It has been in there now for over 2 months. From my experiecne bleached corals do not really grow at all until they gain their color back. Ths thing has been growing like a monster. All my LPS have been really growing like crazy with the new salt change.
Marrone you are correct about the lights. I have it under PC's, The JBJ 105w Quad. When I bought it it was under a 10,000k 250w MH with actinics. In the LFS it was pure white almost looked bleached. I guess I have gotten use to its slow color change over the time I have owned it.
after looking at the pic, is not bleached, when you said "white" before, I took it as bleached, the picture shows more tan than white, nice peice of coral though.
