RBTA changing colors

I've had my RBTA for about a month now. When I purchased him, he was rose colored. He has since perched under a rock towards the bottom of my tank. He seems healthy, eating mysis and opening up. These last weeks he has lost his rose color and is more green. Is this normal to change color?

This is very normal -- the change in type of light and intensity can definitely cause a RBTA to changec colors.
