How do Zoas morph colors?

[Jdoenumber2]

I understand that protein inside of polyps are what dictate color. I have a older colony of Horizons that share the same rock as some pink panthers. I have a couple of Horizons that now have Deep pinkish-purple segments of color coming from center. Pie piece shaped streak wider at skirt. They are located at the division of each colony.

Fire and ice. i have by accident made them morph by raising salinity. Went from 1.025 to 1.032. They when from having a white center to a peach colored instead

Stylaster, do you think it was the change in salinity or the stress of the change?

I have seen this as well. I had a rock full of miami hurricane and radioactive dragon's eye. One of the miami hurricane polyps now has pale green spots in a circle around the outer rim before the skirt. It's so crazy! I kind of want to pull it off and have it start it's own colony.
