If I remember correctly it was because they found it in the bottom of a tank as a brown out and it became what we see today.

Mine has been the same as yours, Just the branches and tips have turned purple.....Not sure why the body is in the same amount of light as the tips are in.....I plan on adding some more live rock at some point and will move it even closer and see what happens although that is a slightly older pic of it.
I will get a new one today for you seems to me the color is a bit better in the new tank then it was but still not the deep dark purple I have seen from this coral in other peoples pictures.....

Unfortunatly, this one for me is a real disapointment. It is basically you average purple tipped nana, and got rid of mine as it wasn't what we all hopped it would be. The Bali Tri Color fits much more to what we all would like.....solid, vibrant purple.
