Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

why don't the captive bred fish look as colorful? Or am I looking at bad pics?
I think it’s jusr because they are so young being shipped. Mine was still almost transparent, but he’s starting to color up.
 
All the talk of skimmers and I almost forgot to show off the beast on my frag tank. I had an reef octopus but I gave it to my dad, he didn’t have the funds for one. I was given this one still brand new in the box sitting in a garage for no telling how many years. I decided I would give it a shot since frag tank is usually low nutrients anyways. It’s an old coralife skimmer, supposed to be rated for up to 220 gallons but I doubt that. It’s loud but seems to be doing ok.
