I have had a brain coral ( not sure what kind ) for about 4 months. at first the bottom was a Paler color and the top was bright but now the bottom is bright and the top seems to be bleaching. If anyone has advice please let me know

I need brain help too, but I don't have the $400/hr :( lol

How old/new are your bulbs, and how long do you run them? Are they on timers?

The first picture was when it was near the lights and I changed them to about 4 inches off the bottom for the past week. It's dies not look like its getting worse but it doesn't seem to be getting better either.. Should I place it where there is a little, like close to a rock formation on the bottom?
