Why is my new growth on SPS got perfect color and old branches don’t collar up

Sometimes seems like the stress of moving to a new environment can mess with their color but the new growth makes up for it. This is one of the reasons I prefer frags to colonies or mini colonies. As the frags grow out into a colony it is usually not noticeable.

Are the new branches on top of the coral and have the best light?

 

[zenan81]

Yes they got 100% off the light

 

[PeterC99]

So the old branches are shaded and not getting the same light exposure as the new growth?

 

[zenan81]

No there is no shaded area they are Frags

That happens with some species. Some corals only show contrast with new growth and some will keep the contrast forever. I have a RR Pink Floyd that if it ever goes all green with stress from shipping or being moved, then it will stay that way and never again get the white and yellow like the new growth will. They poylps always stay pinkish.
