The fingers were always dark brown and I don't think they will ever be any other colour. There were other coloured plates the same size when I bought the one you now have at AI. They were all rather drab in colour which is why I bought the bright green one.

The puffiness of the photo is what the plate was like when it was in our 7 gal. When it was moved to the 42, sand kept getting swept onto it and it was less puffed up.

Water movement should slightly sway the fingers, and not blow them too much, but there whould be some water movement around the coral.
