That is a stress related issue. Once given some time you will see those polyps change to the "normal' green centers.

Interesting, those usually come in as two distinct morphs, didn't know they were one and the same. Did anything change in your tank?

I would say their just not fully mature like the others. My baby polyps usually take on a different color when they first pop up, but then grow to resemble the rest.
