Yes. Mine was solid purple up until 1-2 months ago. Assuming it's from the same original colony, I wonder if yours will eventually get greed tones and polyps.

Makes you wonder what it's supposed to be...all purple, green and purple, or maybe it depends on conditions.

The ora torts vary from blue green to blue to purple to purple green. It's the same coral and its appearance is dependent upon the tank conditions. IME, lower light or placing it lower in the tank brings out the green.

Since it's only 3" below the surface, it would have to be the lighting. It's between the bulbs. Regardless, I like the 2-tone look.
