Live Rock Losing Color

[Sea Turtle]

I just got 80 pounds of uncured Uaniva live rock last wednesday. It was shocked as to how much color it had (reg, green, yellow and purple). Unfortunantly it has lost most if not all the colors. It is just a brown and grey color now. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it dying? How do I get the color to come back?

Thanx

If it was uncured rock, your tank is probably cycling. That's probably why it all died. It will come back after your tank cycles.

it was coralline algae. Once the tank has settled some will grow back. It requires good water and high calcium levels to do really well.
