I am just trying to make the point that his system is very young and this fact is more likely the cause of some of his sps loosing color.
Reducing the lighting cycle will darken the colors of sps. The coral reacts to the lack of light by darkening itself in an attempt to absorb as much of the available light as it can. Much like the difference between wearing a black shirt or a white shirt in the summertime(mmmmm summer).

ya i know its young, and your more than welcome to come over and take a peak. after only a day and a bit I have noticed a big change in polyp extension in my tank. I purchased this branching sps last week and it has made the biggest change out of all the other ones in my tank. when it was at red coral polyps were fully out all the time. when i brought it home polyps haven't had the greatest extension like how it was at the store till now.
I will have to bump this thread in a month with updates. So far its working great
