I was closely looking at a coral colony that a buddy of mine got at a LFS. We both have been thinking it was a Tyree pink lemonade. But just today I was looking closely at the frag I have in my frag tank(I have another in the main display) and noticed a purple growth rim. Does the Tyree pink lemonade have a purple growth rim, this is pretty prominent in person but the photo gives a an idea of what im talking about. Please excuse the algae as well as the coral is not green looking but actually yellow.

I personally don't have a Tyree Pink Lemonade, but their are so many factors that come into account when SPS color up. I have seen the same colony look totally different based on nutrient, lights, and the tank in general. A Walt Disney can either be Blue or Green depending on whether is was grown under a LED or T5.

Very true...actually running a small experiment with different LEDS. My frag tank is running radions while my main display is running SBreeflights...Yes my choice of lighting brand may seem weird lol. They both are run to the same sump. Just thought it was a cool little morph if it is one just wanted to see if anyone has noticed this:)
 
When I got my Walt Disney it was green, the I went to a frag show and found a vendor selling Walt Disney's and they were blue. I talked to a vendor that I trust and they said the the Walt Disney was among the worse when it came to color shifting. Well, a few months later I noticed that my Walt Disney was shifting, on the new growth, from green to blue under a hybrid lighting setup.
