I would look at your lighting. I purchased a piece of what I thought was green birdsnest from a local store and within a week in my tank under my t-5s it turned pink.

Looks awesome to me, many colors in one. but agree with others lighting changes from lfs to home sometimes brings on different colors.

Yeah I would say lighting changes would cause the shift in color. The coral looks healthy so I wouldnt worry about that. This change in color could come from a switch from MH to T5 or even a change in MH bulb type, 10k to say a high quality 14k or 20k.

SPS shift so much in appearance depending on lighting. i pretty much expect my corals to brown out or bleach out when i first get them, then come back even more colorful than before. i think it is a really great, and also annoying part of keeping SPS. i buy corals because i really like them, then they dont look like what i bought, then the freebie that they threw in ends up looking better than i could have ever imagined.
