Do sps's polyp colour change under different lighting?
Saw a pink lemonade with pinkish polyp colour vs mine which has the brown polyp colour, I know sps's body can change colours but how about the polyps?

Yes different wavelengths of light will highlight the different pigments on the coral so under a standard light everything looks brown or a dull green but change the colour spectrum and watch the colours pop out
