Those specs you see in the coral are zooxanthellae. I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just make sure that nutrients like nitrate and phosphate are kept low, and the coral should be fine.

I think it is very normal to see a coral darken when taken home. What type of lighting do you have compared to the LFS where you bought the coral?
