green leaves, brackish water. it is still on a plastic cup, so it gets lights, but not the tank water yet.

as best I understand the question, this mature mangrove seedling came from known brackish water and you want to acclimate it to full strength seawater. If so... please take a very slow path of increasing salinity over several months to acclimate it properly. Also, be sure to mist the leaves near daily with pure fresh water (RO/DI is OK here)
