zoas losing color

I have 2 colonies that are losing a bit of color, not much but its noticeable to me. I think its my lighting I had a reefbreeders over my 10gallon when I switched my 20 out while I was redoing my DIY LEDs ( I raised it to about 20" over the tank to not over due it) I switched back to my DIY LEDs about a week or two later (8RB 2B 6CW 2V, Blues 100% white 75% 80* optics). Params were in check last I checked but I have to check them again. Will the colors come back? Do you think it was my lighting if all my params were proper?

Was this the 120W ReefBreeders LED? I’m also assuming you had it cranked back to almost nothing over a 10 gallon. The point I’m getting at; Could you have given them too much light?
