So, what causes corals to change?

I got these utter chaos as 3 polyps. All had white inner circles, and still do near the top of the colony. Now the lower ones don't have the inner white circle.

Any idea why this would be?

Mine were in low light and had lower orange highlights and more white center, but I ramped up the lighting and they are turning brighter orange and losing the white.

When it comes to Utter Chaos we have found here at our farm that lighting has a HUGE effect on how they look. Not only in coloration, but in size as well. Polyps can be from normal zoa size all the way to looking like massive palys. We haven't had flow affect them to much.
