Since it takes weeks to months for corals to make new fluorescing and chromo proteins I think you should keep running this experiment a while longer. But if you're really trying to get bright colors corals make fluorescing proteins and put them above their zooxanthellae in response to light levels brighter than the zooxantheallae want.
