no man, there are tons of things that affect the color of SPS. I can show anyone that is interested the parts that encrusted and they are BLUE. Blue like a Bud Light can. I have been growing this under 10k lighting, which that alone will affect the color. At one point the entire frag was blue, but it has changed back to mainly red again. You can't really force color down the throat of a frag, they all morph due to conditions in the tank.
