Sometimes happens to me with T5 as well. I accidentally frag a colony, move the piece somewhere else, it turns a different shade.

That's so odd because the brown piece is probly 8 inches from the waters surface with good flow and the other one is about 2 or 3 inches from the water surface and has much much less flow but looks stunning and is growing quite well

Well pleasing to our eye isn't a good measure of health.

+1 to what FlyPenFly said! Lighting can vary tremendously over a VERY short distance. Here's a bicolor birdsnest colony, you can see the color has a significant shift in a distance of less than an inch. I would encourage you to read the article Dana Riddle has on advanced aquarist concerning the fluorescing and chromo proteins produced by corals
