I found this at the LFS badly neglected, its twin brother was already beginning to rot with bare skeleton. I bought it cheap and have been trying to nurse it back to health. It went from stark white, to teal-green... But is now developing some spots. I think this is zzox/ pigment returning. Can anyone confirm if these darker spots is pigment returning, or something else going on..? I have hadbit now for about 5 months

#reefsquad anyone got any thoughts?
 
Hard to tell in the heavy blue of the picture but it does appear to be gaining pigment in those locations. Almost looks like reds and yellows are starting to show through the green some.
 
To me they still look like reds coming out in the coral. It's happy and puffy and starting to reveal its true colors to you.

Thanks! I am excited find out how it turns out
