For the past two months I've had a few colonies of zoas that have an orange or yellow skirt turn a brownish color. At first I thought I was missing some trace elements and had an ICP test done which didn't indicate I was missing any trace or major elements. No changes to lighting or flow. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How long have you had the zoas? Have you run any carbon recently?
 
Each colony I have had for four-five months. No additional carbon than what was already existing. Currently under Radion XR G4 Pro. No changes in intensity or schedule of lightning.
