Browning Rasta

[banghair]

I have 4 zoas, recently added the last one I want, a Rasta, less than a week ago. Well I noticed my rasta is turning brown on the bottom, all the other zoas are fine, thriving in fact. It’s pretty much always open, the one polyp closed in the picture was just bothered by me. Any idea what the issue is or how to resolve it?

I have had Rasta that are in the shade sort of do this and ones that got bumped real hard do it. Never lost one because of it and they returned to normal after putting in more light (shaded polyps) or just over time (for damaged polyps).

In addition, it could be a morph. My Rasta colony has a few odd ones in it that a brown dot for a mouth, green dot for a mouth and some that have a few striations of green across the dot in the middle.

Thank you, I’ll cont to closely monitor, hopefully it’s just adjusting!

Looks like a snail or something just rubbed the color off. Happens with rastas. It will come back

The zoa has improved significantly, I think it was just adjusting!
