Pereskiopsis are turning red?

Hey y'all 
A few of my small peres are turning reddish in color in their Leaves. They are in full sun and pretty small containers. What usually causes this discoloration? Too much light?
    
Also is this a reversable problem or like scarring and scabbing on trichs, is it a permanent thing? Also are they still good for grafting even though they are reddish? I've moved them into a spot with partial sunlight until I figure out how to correct this or if anything halt any further damage and injury.
Suggestions and ideas on possible causes?
Thanks a bunch yall

Sounds like they got a little sunburn, but no worries.. They should recover in the new, less sunny, location.

Hey y'all, I have another pere concern I could use some insight on... My cereus Peruvianus Montrose graft on my Pere is looking okay. Haven't noticed much growth at all. Though it was months ago and it def took. Do Montrose just take longer than other cacti? I figure its alive and what will happen is what will happen. Could use some feedback but my real question is this... The grafting stock has three pere leaves on it and they're all yellowing up. Looks like I'll lose them soon. Is this going to be a big problem with no leaves? It seems to be pretty anchored and rooted and often tries to push new shoots from the tip. So it does seem healthy. I just think he was hungry and I missed the boat.
While were on the topic on a Peres diet, could you offer a suggestion or two of what's good to feed them? A person a long time ago mentioned liquid seaweed meal... But I don't like to use it because one of the few times I broke it out in the past,it burned my Other plants. I mention this I'd like to have some stuff made up for other plants as well as the Peres... Since they won't need much. Sorry about the long post, but could you offer some advice?
  
Muchos gracias y'all

I find monstrose cacti grow a lot slower on their own roots, but I've never grafted one. I don't see why it would be any different.
