i have 3 small colonies and the 1 directly under the halide has recently done that from a bulb replacement because of the increased par i believe. its cool i was excited and kind of scared because i though for sure it was going to die but its been that way for a month now and the other pieces didn't do it. it was recently fragged prior to this and its encrusting as we speak... purple and all. mine is a much deeper purple though with the same green corallites

If it is a slimer it doesnt look or grow like anyone I have ever seen.

I'm not too sure that it is a slimer, do you have a clearer pic?

Or maybe if you could take in a zoomed in pic on the corallite structure.

I tend to agree

The growth pattern actually reminds me of a purple SPS I used to have.

Doesn't appear to be a slimer to me either.
You do know that many corals will color up in the following depending on what stage it is in.

Bleached ---> Brown ---> Green or the true color ----> True Color.

Now, the shape of that coral does not look like a slimer to me. Also I've never seen a slimer have a encrusting base like that. Nice piece regardless.

That doesn't look like a slimer (A. yongei) to me... the brown thing in the right background looks the most like a slimer in that picture. Could be some tricolor type. Then how do you explain the bright green it was before.. that's just weird. Nice coral though.
