Blue polyp lost color - how to regain

My blue snowflake polyps lost all blue color soon after I bought them. I have T5 lights, and thought I acclimated them right.
Is there anything I can do to recover the blue color? They otherwise look healthy and are growing.
If lighting is the issue, can anyone suggest the proper light strength and tank placement?
 
Maybe too high? Try them lower maybe medium flow... my ppe grow better n have nicer color under a cliff I have in my tank try that it might work

Also next time you post let us know where What size tank how many lights and water flow some corals r very picky
 
Clavularia? IME they tend to be more blue in lower nutrient systems.

Be very careful with them, they'll take over your tank like no other coral.
 
Thanks for the tips.

55 gal, T5- 2 each 6700K/340nm actinic blue
I have one placed about mid height, medium flow; one bottom, low flow.
Thought I'd experiment and see if either do better.
I'm not sure what tuberider means by low nutrient system.
 
aquariums systems that are low in nutrients... not sure how to explain it more then that. Most run with elevated levels.
