What type of lights do you have, and where in the tank are they placed?

I would guess lighting is the issue.

Almost 100% sure lighting. Brown is the easiest color for the coral to turn under dim lighting. There is a scientific explanantion but I can't explain it right.

I have palys from the same mother colony all over the tank.... each have changed to a different color in accordance to where they are situated and how much light that area receives.

Is there anything on the Zoanthids, mucous, fungus, algea? Are they open or closed? How long ago did it start?

Again just because a coral turns brown does not always mean it is unhealthy. One of the pros will explain but it has something to do with the zooxanthellae in the tissue and light, as well as certain parameters like alk so they all should be checked just in case.

Try moving the coral closer to the light before you do a dip.
