Frogspawn's color

[predator]

I just recently bought a frogspawn and at the time I bought it it was all shriveled up. It looked to be green, but once I got home and it opened up it is a see through brown with a strong green tent to it. My lights here are alot better than where I got it from, Will it's color improve under better condtions???

when a coral is closed its colors are magnified. Thhis happens because the tissue has tightened up there for making the algae in it look more intense.
And as a general rule I do not buy corals that are not open in the lfs. Because you don't know if it is closed cause its sick or just cause its cllosed.

Predator, depends, corals can change color under different lights, but youll never know what your going to get until it changes. The brown is normal, alot of frogspawns, torches, ect, are this color with flourescent tips. HTH
