Love frogspawn. I also like that morph with the yellowish tips. This one looks possibly a bit bleached tho. Did you take the photo near lights on or lights off? Sometimes when if puffs up right it can also appear bleached. Does the color in the tentacles become more opaque when it shrinks down a bit?

The sort of translucent appearance could mean that some of the zooxanthellae bailed from the tissues. Do you happen to have strong lighting? Sometimes a sudden increase in lighting intensity can cause it.

Maybe my orange filter form my camera? I have currently 2 ilumagic blaze mini x each rated at 65 watts, i havent done PAR reading but my understanding is im kind of underpowered, i have them at 12' from the water. I follow this chart for reference
