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

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...
