totally new to acros.. got a frag yesterday set it in its spot and it toppled over.. so i glued it again.. it seems that the part of the frag i touched lost a little color..overall it is brown with green tips.. but anywhere i had touched it, it turned tan almost like the color came off.. i know you are not supposed to handle them but will this color back up?? again it may be a dumb questiojn but i am totally new to acros, i have lots of LPS and they all grow great, but i got my new lighting and want to get into acros, reading up and talking to as many knowledgable reefers as i can.
 
Touching/handling SPS is not really a problem for the coral. If you press too hard on it, it will lighten but it should color back up in a few days. If you press really hard on it, you could possibly rub some of the tissue off of it.
