Utter Chaos loses its sparkle

[cvu]

Hi, does anybody know why my Utter Chaos slowly loses its glitter/sparkle? It's used to be the brightest coral in my tank and now it's just like a pale pinkish zoa.

not really confident those are utter chaos to begin with. they resemble white zombie/blue agave/seduction with less of the "blue". ultimately every tank is different, and you may have a zoa that morphs into something else in your tank but not in someone elses! still looks good

It's Utter Chaos. Here is the picture I took when they were healthy.

interesting.

perhaps you have low iron in your tank. zoa's tend to color down with a lack of iron.

Thanks, I will do some research on that direction.

Did your utter chaos ever get their "sparkle" back? My colony has done the same and look very dull. Also included a photo of the colony before morphing to this look.
