Micromussa color changes

[hsnydn]

Hi,
I want to mention about the color changes about micromussa.
I had to seperate one of my micromussa frag in to 3 parts due to some coral fight and algea around 6 month ago. After recovery I placed them on the tank, and it ended up like 3 slightly different color variation. One of it started to have green and dark partial lines. What may cause these type of changes. Is everything alright?

It happens,from my experience if they are aquacultured they retain their color better and handle changes better. Mariculture will change colors quickly if parameters changes & lighting changes. They will go from wild rainbow to red/orange really quick.

I suggest,feeding meaty foods 2-3 a week and lower light & medium random flow. Colors should come back and if not look better.
