Cool watching these change. I fragged this colony about a month or so ago and now have 3 different looking placed in different lighting and flow.
This group has remained unchanged

This group has transformed thus

and this group has changed into an awesome looking zoanthid. I love the dark pink center and the thick, short and wiry skirt that has become gray

One thing to watch for with PEs is that too much light can cause them to expell xoothanthellae giving the appearance of white dots on the face. If this happens move them to less light and they will regain the color. White specks may look good but not healthy.
Not saying this is what has happened to yours as you haven't posted a pic, this info for others unknowing of this result to too intense lighting.
