Mushroom color

[Jimmy]

Can someone educate me on why my mushrooms were blue in the pet shop but are a brownish-red in my tank? I've got 6 T5's (3 white and 3 blue) as well as a 48" white LED strip and a 48" blue LED strip. I bought them because I wanted the blue color.

Update... after posting this I thought ... hey post a picture to show everyone. I took the pic and what the heck ... they're blue! Maybe they just needed some time.

Yea, they were probably closed up or something because of the move.

Corals will look different under different lights, too. You don't know exactly how they will look until you get them in your tank.
