SPS color changes

[hammondegge]

I have noticed something happening that i had not noticed before. It may be because it has not happened in in the past, or it may be because i had not noticed it.....but,....some of my brighter colored acros, notably a blue and a green, have on occaision shifted colors quite rapidly. on the green acro about half will turn rose colored (not brown), presumably overnight, and it will then color up again in about 24 hrs. this may happen once a week or so. on a blue acro a portion has turned pale purple and returned to the original intense blue only to return to purple again. i am not concerned, the colors are pleasing and the corals are healthy, but i am curious to know if others experience this.
I also have noticed a blue stag frag that will be a solid blue some days and a two tone blue fading to browns the next day. are these growth conditions? i have some of the same corals rapidly encrusting at the base with pale or white colorations.
my guess is that is due to more rapid growth than i was accustomed to seeing. what do you think?

btw, this is under new phoenix 14k bulbs, probably 2 months old

Hmm.

Different colors around the encursting base are very common.

Do the branch color changes coincide with feedings?

I've never seen this from day to day other than between periods of heavy, and then no feeding, and back.

I did have an acro once that would be one shade in the morning and gradually turn a different shade throughout the day.

"Do the branch color changes coincide with feedings?"

perhaps, i will check this out.

"I did have an acro once that would be one shade in the morning and gradually turn a different shade throughout the day."

one of them is doing something like this, but not every day.

thanks
