Could it be your denitrator? My zoos are slowly melting one by one for no reason, and some of my sps’s, and lps’s.
They started to bleach/melt, after 5 weeks I installed my denitrator. Im not sure yet if was some Iodine I overdosed(not sure if I overdosed) or the denitrator.
I wouldn't think it would be your denitrator, I did lower the intensity of my lights and now I see color coming back in my acans about a day later![emoji16]

if your acans are the ones that are bleaching I would try moving them to a lower light location/shade. I always had acans lose color/get white streaks in too high of light. Do you have pics? I think that would help everyone diagnose

Great! Happy reefing. Btw, check out cornbread rainbow anaconda acan and pink lemonade acan, two of my favorites for sure. Absurd prices on the website (like everything else he sells) but I got heads of both in ebay auctions for $75 and $45 (not buy it now but regular auction)

Still expensive but epic coloration imo
