sounds like to much light try moving to a lower light area if not the case is this a new frag? may just be shipping stress.

Ktar mine do that from time to time also. One day it looked like 1 polyp had been eaten on but after a few hours it had opened back up and looked normal. Go figure.

so ppe are not high light lovers or does it depend on the type of lighting they came from?

IME they prefer low light. When exposed to high light they start to lose the dark purple and get speckling aroung the mouth.
