The first pic is from 5/15 when I got it and todays pic is new don't think it was that way yesterday I know I would have noticed.
 
Hello,
it is impossible to offer advise from pictures. We need to know about your setup and water parameters, please be specific about them. A lot of times we hear things are "good" when they are not what would be suggested by others. Lighting and flow information also please....
 
Agree. So how is the "birds of paradise"? Does it look the same?

Here's a video that shows another problem or at least I think it is and don't like looking at it. Randy said it could be this but I have not heard back from him.......If there is not air getting sucked down into the pump (sometimes there's a tiny whirlpool that sucks in air), then bubbles can form during the day if the water is supersaturated with O2 and the pump brings the O2 back to the gas phase, or simply that gas bubbles can form in the pump by cavitation.
I have got it less by adjusting the Grye but whatever it is it looks sucky
But I don't know what to do.

 
This Stylo I have didn't come in to it's colors until just late last year after owning it for over a year starting from a two branch twig. These two photos are only four about four months apart of the same coral to give you an idea. Also, when in doubt, dip it. The change I made from the first photo to the results in the second photo were that I moved it higher and to the center of the tank directly under the lights. This is also where the flow from my wave makers converge, resulting in this coral having maximum flow. Each wave maker is a 5,000 GPH unit at max setting. I would say that high flow and light made this turn out much better.
