There are two types of conophytum in this dish, the camouflage ones don’t seem to change appearance much but the larger ones were grass green colored and one day they went pink. They were watered about every 2-4 weeks through the winter and only slightly soft now. Substraight is a mixture of angular sand and lithops mix (very coarse mix. Pot is glazed but I drilled holes in the bottom so it drains well. Lives on sunny window sill, was getting 4-6 hrs of sun all winter and now probably 7-8 hours. Are these just going dormant for the summer or getting too stressed? should I move them to a less sunny spot?

Yes, getting ready for dormancy. The ‘wittebergense’ looks likes it’s thirsty rather than getting ready to sheath. The pellucidum may possibly also be thirsty. I would very lightly water only those species (with a squirt bottle or a dropper), and see if they react to it. If not, well at least you tried. Either way, best to keep dry after that attempt.
