I got this LPS, identified as echinopora, at the MASC annual meeting. This is what it looked like when I brought it home:

And here it is 2 weeks later:

It went from a rust color to ivory to the lime green you see here. I think the green may be the final color. It has become more intense over the last few days but has not changed in color.

OK, why do the pix look the same size in preview but not when I post?

Don't worry, it is perched on a coral skeleton.

FW, is this any more help? It is hard to get a good image, this is the best of a bunch. At least you can see the color difference. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f198/CarmieJo/DSC_0303.jpg

Whatever it is I am not happy with how it is looking. Most of the polyps are not extending and it is much paler. I've had it up high and just moved it lower in the tank.
