Today my shipment came in , first time I ever bought acros online and I was wondering if they loose color during shipping ? And if they will color back up and about how long will it take . Thanks !!!

Sometimes they do get pale (not white) during shipping. The should color back up in a few weeks, but put the piece at the bottom of the tank and every week slowly move up to where you want it. If it is totally white and no polyp extension, it could be bleached.

Yes they usually lose some color. Some corals do better then others depending on their sensitivity. They will color back up within a week or so, but this depends on the coral your tank and how stressed they are. There are just no hard set answers to recovery time, too many variables.
