So I noticed about a month and a half ago 2 of my heads on my eagle eye colony was different. The mouths on 2 of the heads were now green instead of purple, and so i'm thinking perhaps I have a new color morph of eagle eyes. I want to hear your guys' inputs on whether or not its a new color morph! Let the debate begin!

Corals can change colors based on growth and chemistry of your water. Many times new corals can be a lighter color than older parts of the coral.

I collect a green zoa in the shallow waters of the Florida Keys. In average PAR they look the same as when collected. Under high PAR (meant for my sps) the zoas turn sky blue. Quite pretty in fact. But they will morph back to green over time if moved back to lower PAR lighting!
