which do you like?

Hey all! I don't post here often, but I had a pretty cool color morph I wanted to share. I bought this coral as a Vermiculated from BigBoy a coupl months ago.

I moved it about 3-4 " lower in my tank to mount it, and it turned into this.

Which do you like better? I'm thinking of taking a piece off and moving it up again to see if it goes back to the original color. Thanks for looking!

I think I like the first one a little better. Maybe the 2nd would be better if there were a little more color on the polyps.

Thanks for the replies! I agree with both of you. I've just never had a coral change colors this drastically. I am going to break a piece off and move it around a bit, but I think I'm going to let it grow out a bit yet. I'll update this thread when I do it and if it changes colors again.

I like the second one better too..........more so becasue of potential.......when that thing grows out, I see a flourescent turquoise/teal color in there that very well may end up more prevalent and it could end up being a knockout
