Instant brown zoas

[declanisadog]

I came home from work today to find an empty frag plug that this morning contained a few healthy rasta zoas. Of course I immediately thought the worst, but soon noticed they had somehow been knocked off of the plug. As I was gluing them back on the plug I noticed they looked brown out of the water, and when I put them back in the tank they were still brown. I haven't seen this with other zoas I have fragged, is this normal?

i've noticed this when i accidentally rub the open polyp's disk "knocking" the color off of the zoa

As long as they open I wouldn't worry to much because if the color never comes back on these the babies should still be colorful

Yea, I'm not too worried because throughout all of it they never closed. There's a couple babies who were closed who still have color.

The color started coming back like a week ago but was super subdued until today. Pretty neat
