Going From Lps To Sps

i got a pink stylophora and a orange plate a couple weeks ago and they seems to be doing ok.do they adapt rather quick or do they take a while?

What do you mean by adapt? The color of the coral will change inside your tank based on your water quality, lighting and nutrient levels. You should see polyp extension from the coral within hours of putting them in the tank. I have noticed that coral that spent a long time in a pristine system will often get brown or dull when put into another system. So if you got the coral from a very good system than they might take a couple months to recover their color completely.

McCrarys right,Corals can and do change colors once they've been added to your tank.Different par and spectrium of the light,More or less nutrient water can cause color change.
As long as the conditions in your tank are right,they coral will usually regain color and start growing.
