Dragon Eye Zoa question

[monsinour]

When we bought our dragon eye zoa the color was very intense. It was bright orange in the middle with a neon green on the outside. Now after it's been in out tank the color seems to have faded. It's towards the top of the tank close to the lights, but the orange color has turned more into a peach and the green is still the same shade, but doesn't seem to go as far into the center as it used to. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on with it?

a couple thoughts come to mind...
first, is this a gradual change or smething that occurred when u broght it home?
next is it under the same kind of lights, same distamce as at the store? corals adapt to light and type, spectrum, and distance can cause it to change if its not just appearing differewnt.
othertimes it could be a change due to water quality.
