Sinularia color changes

[lilgrounchuck]

I’ve had this sinularia for a few months now. It went from a few inches to about the size of a kids basketball when fully inflated. I sliced off a few frags recently to keep it from shading out other corals and I’ve noticed that it changes colors throughout the day now. It randomly changes from super dark green, neon green, pale green, and a white color. Before I sliced some branches off it stayed a neon color. Is this normal? It’s already growing back where I cut it, and it seems to be growing faster on the whole, so I know it’s not hurting. It’s just weird how it’s changing colors now (though it kind of like it)

Care to share some photos of the different colors it displays throughout the day? I'd be interested to see this.

Color change may be due to how much water it is absorbing and how much the tissue is being stretched.

I can try, but it the colors don’t come through right in photos.
