Green montipora has brown polyps

[Tiagofish]

I just got a coral two weeks ago, and I think it's a green montipora. It's polyps started turning brownish. Water Params are spot on. All other corals are doing fine. I'm wondering what could be going on? Bad lighting? Flow? Algae? Is it dying? I have it to the side of my tank w low flow and decent lighting. See pic. Any ideas? Thanks.

Looks like a healthy Montipora spongodes in the photo. The brownish/red polyps are normal.

Yep, this is a Montipora spongodes, and it's how the polyps look. Looks great!

Is it on the sand?
