Cyphastrea bleaching?

[acrum222]

Looks like my new cyphastrea started to bleach. I had it on a frag rack a couple inches off the sand of my 30 inch deep tank. Its lighted with 2 sb reef lights and 2 ati blue plus retrofit bulbs. The new t5s are on for a couple hours a day as I'm slowly keeping them on longer. I moved it into a shady area. Think itll bounce back?

Looks like it could be recession, was it close to other corals on the frag rack? IME cyphastrea could take some light but needs stable chemistry to flourish. It has tissue so I believe it can come back.
