hey guys just wondering if anyone can confirm that my cabbage coral is bleaching or if this is normal? it opens up beautifully every day, all polyps are always out and this is my first cabbage coral. i know sometimes cabbages have white around the rims of their tissue but not so sure about this. maybe shedding? thanks!

sal 1.026
ph 8.02
phos .02
nitrate 5-10
lights: 32 watt fluval marine 3.0 (don’t think they’re strong enough to bleach)
