Hey guys, I checked on my corals today, as per my typical routine, and a saw that they were bleached and peeling (namely the duncan although the mouths still show luminescence in pic 3.) After checking my AI, I realized that I accidentally had the lights cranked to full all day. What are the odds these corals will recover, and if so, what can I do to help the process?

Tough call.
If they fried they are fried :(
Some corals come back some others don’t.
Put them low, reduce the intensity and hope for the best.
