I had/have a very bleached green gig when I purchased it. It's been eating well however these past couple weeks the tentacles look as you say "dirty". I'm assuming that is a sign of new zoxanthellea? That term fits it well too. I glanced over and thought I was imaging things. It's not the brown you see on healthy gigs, it's like a patch of tentacles are dirty brown.
