So while moving some rocks around the tank yesterday I accidentally knocked loose a ledge holding my War coral favia, Now I know the standard coloration is blue and red or purple and red in my case with green eyes, but while I was looking at the coral up close since I had the chance I noticed on the back side that wasn't getting much light the favia had a gold color rather than red or purple, so For this case I would say the coral was red, purple, gold, all with green eyes. Is this normal for there to be a gold coloration? I'v never seen it before so wondering if anyone else has something like this, thought it was very cool! I want to upload some pictures but I'm having trouble since my iPhone isn't synced to this computer, but I will try!

Let me know if anyone else has seen something like this!

The whole coral is in medium light in my tank, but that golden part was backed up against a rock wall almost so very very little light reached it. Definatly looks awesome though!
