Browned out captain america palys..

[Lateralus]

So I picked up a few browned out polyps super cheap from my LFS. I'd say maybe more of a maroon color. Anyway they have been placed about 6-8" below an 8x54w ati fixture at the LFS and I'm just wondering what steps I can take to restore their original color?

time and good water quality in my experience.

Mine were under 120 watt leds and no matter where i placed them, even right next to other zoas that looked awesome, they shriveled and looked crappy. I moved them to my big tank under 7 t5s and about medium depth and they opened fully and are coloring up very nicely. Mine prefer lower light and depth than my other zoas apparently.

Well after a few days in the sand they are looking really good.

They are caps. I moved them in the sand a few days back slowly reverting back to original color.
