My normal twohead / twin scoly coral ( tank spawned) started off as just one blue and purple head and another head with blue and orange/red, i noticed recently when moing it though that on the very outer skirt (the very outer rim that when full inflated curves inwards towards itself and gets shaded by itself / touches the bottom of the rock) of the red head it has very vibrant yellow, is that yellow going to express more as it matures and grows or will it just deepen into red / orange like the rest of the body.
 
Do you have a photo?

They can definitely get varying colors based on lighting, flow, chemistry etc. If they are very small (young) then they may very well be just maturing into different colors.
