Why is it when my acans are plump they lose all of their coloration? As soon as I moved the acans off a rock they shrunk and you could see all of the rainbow colors again.
 
cause the tissue expands full of water and the color gets spread out. When the polyps contracts the tissue becomes tight and the colors magnify.
This is completely true.The color will decrease when they start to full themselves with water .
If you use some royal blue lightning in your tang their color would be more attractive .
