Different from???
The green we normally see, or the color when you purchased them?
Keep in mind, all photosynthic corals have symbiotic algae inside their tissue. These can bleach or be expelled if the coral is stressed.
The coral can change or shift color based on lighting and available nutrients in the tank..

Check water parameters and make sure you are in the correct ballpark. Thats where I would start.
Like I mentioned above, there are many reasons why corals can shift color. Parameters and lighting being the big 2..
Mine sometimes get those unhealthy ones from my colony blocking the light from the lower ones. Sometimes they just need a good trim up as they get older. Do they have algae growing on the branches? Is the flow to much or too little....lighting? Did they get stung by a nearby coral with sweepers....something eating them. All guesses unless we can see them in person and see your whole tank flow and lighting and yes....Like ndrwater
mentioned what are your tank parameters...alk .calc, mag, salinity,phosphates,nitrates......

seems ok to me ...and thanks for the parameters. How old is your tank? What other corals or fish and inverts do you have. Keep us updated
