Not the greatest picture because of the LEDs but you can see the color in the left setosa compared to the color of the setosa on the right. They have been on this frag rack about halfway up a 2' high tank. Color has been good and so has growth. The one in the middle is taking over the rack so I decided to take the one on the right off and stick it in a rock before it took over the rack as well. I lowered it in the tank when doing so. It lost almost all of its color within a week so I moved it back to the rack.

I can post all of my parameters etc but one frag is colored and the other that I moved is almost grey. What should I do?

either move it back up somewhere in the rock but higher, or wait it out and hope. If I find that the coral is happy somewhere, I don't move it.
 
I moved it back and I'm waiting and hoping. The only other thing is that I did a 3 days lights out. The one coral stayed colorful but this one and another that is growing lower and behind my main rock both lost color and PE, so I think it's a combination of moving from a happy place and then no lights for 3 days since the third setosa wasn't moved but lost color.
