Just started a little bit ago. Was growing with no issues. No recent water changes.

Parameters would help,

Looking at your other post:
Parameters below:

Salinity:1.025
Ph:8.0
Ammonia:0ppm
Nitrate:0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
Calcium:400ppm
Phosphate:0ppm
Temp:77.8F
I would say the Nitrate and Phosphate being 0 is one of the reasons.

New tank and SPS is not the easiest path to success.

Try some easy to grow corals like Zoas, GSP on small rock or some leather corals like toadstool or devil’s hand.

So what are the parameters on this tank?

From picture it still looks like a new tank….

If the question is “is the coral bleaching?”. My answer would be no, that looks like STN/RTN.

When SPS corals are not happy with water quality/ nutrient supply / Alk or salinity instability etc… they tend to STN/RTN.

Need parameters, tank age, what type of lighting and flow? Why do you have it on the sand? Normally sps is placed higher for higher light and flow? Need more info to help.....
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
