Just wondering if this is bleaching g from too much light. It’s a psammacora bout halfway up the tank in moderate lighting of about 130-150 par

Here is my psammacora in prime real estate and outlasted number of acros, Setosa etc…

From my experience light is not an issue for them.

How is your PO4 and do you use any coral food?

Looks hungry to me.

Assure phosphate and nitrate not high elevated and that alk and CA not low and lights not too bright
 
What’s too bright for a psammacora?
High in white which mine did not like. Under medium light and water flow, it is GOLDEN and very healthy
 
I’m currently on a full spectrum Radion light schedule. Maybe try AB+? That’s more blues if I remember correctly
For reference I use AB+ at 77% intensity for 7 hours and blue for last 3 hours (for evening viewing).
