well i just purchased four of these spunky shell dwellers and i have started to notice three of the four are not keeping there dark color. instead most of the time they are a solid goldish color still with the pearls down the sides. but the weirder part is they will change right in front of my eyes when they eat or seemed provoked. i dont know if its stress or what? other than that though they seem to act just fine. so i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

havnt experienced it with stappersii, but my brevis do this anytime any time they go near each other,pretty sure theyre just defending their territories.
