I have some zoanthids that I recently purchased. I have had them in my tank for about 2-3 days. They all can in looking pretty pale - but one in particular looks especially pale. Thoughts?

what kind of lights are they under? I find that zoa's/pally's look pale or brown under low lighting.
 
I agree that it is probably the low lighting. My zoas were growing and spreading fine but were getting dull. I added another light to my tank and I my zoas all started turning much more vibrant
