Scolymia Color Changes

[CuttleKid]

I purchased 2 scolymia autralis a few months ago. One was bright green with a few orangish reddish stripes on one end. The other one was red with purplish grayish stripes. Ever since I started feeding them with Fauna Marin Ultra LPS Coral pellets and they have been showing some dramatic color change. The green and red one is now showing more red stripes emerging throughout, especially in the middle as well as some hints of purple. My red and purple has changed into red with green and a lot of yellowish orange which shows off especially under blue actinics. Is this normal? Has anyone else seen/heard anything about this?

Thanks

Many corals from LFS that you see are new arrival to the store. They were under a large amount of stress from all the shipping and transfering from different tank and water. They do lose quite a bit of color. Once they are in a stable enviorment, they will gain their beautiful original color back. Also, with different type of food the corals are eating, some with color enhancement, they do show even more or better color depends on the food.
