so iv had my ricordia for awhile now and it has grown a ton sense I got it, it's probably one of the most thriving corals I have right now. The one on the left is way more blue than the photo does it justice and some of its bubbles seem to be growing much larger than most of the others. But that's not what my post is about lol. My emerald crabs live behind the ricordias (all 3 of them in that little hole lol) and sometimes when they come out the annoy the ricordias and they will close up, they never seem to do any damage but they don't like being messed with. So this happens last night and I notice I bright neon green spot, upon some closer examining it appears to be a baby ricordia but sorta looks like a zoa polyp right now. I tried and I tried to get a decent picture but the angle it's at makes it nearly impossible. I did get one that's relatively clear.

Is it possible for ricordias to Change color like that? Could it be something else?
 
Sometimes the babies are a solid color until they mature
