    Pink is normally a sign of overwatering. It may also have some yelow color. It can also signal a lack of nutrients, change in temperature (generally cooler), or a chemical reaction to sunlight (not as common).

    If the soil is wet around the plants, back off on watering and allow them to dry out some. You may also want to have the soil tested to see if there is anything missing and then correct it. Not much you can do if it's caused from a sudden shift in the weather, though they should recover on their own if this is the case.

    It is being attacked by spider mites. Spider mites tend to target weakened plants and cilantro is a notorious "weak" plant. Because it is quick to stress and bolt, it is also quick to attract pests. They leave the other plants alone because they are healthy and not stressed.

    I would leave them. Even for annuals, they are a short lived plant. Transplanting causes stress and with cilantro, stress will cause early bolting. It should be fine to leave them, just make sure they get enough water if you feel they are crowded.

    Browning from the bottom up usually signals too little water. Increase the watering to your plant.
