chances are they're very bleached still, I've seen mushrooms take up to 6 months to eventually color up, but white is simply not a mushroom color in the wild, they all have some form of zooxanthellae that keeps them at least brown, I'd give them some more time to color up

^ that's what i was thinking...

Actually, they do not Have to have pigment because of the zooxanthellae, what about pipe organ coral, palm palm xenia,,White leather,,,,I have 8 peices of corals now that are white in my collection...
