My Frogspawn coral is looking like it is bleaching! My temp hasn't changed and none of my other corals are having any problems. What is happening??
 
Water parameters?
 
I'll have to check on that. In the past little bit nothing has been off. I'm going to do a water change today, so if anything was off hopefully that would fix it. What parameters are most likely off.

I was going to say… maybe it’s getting blasted with too much light? I have my frogspawn on the bottom of the tank. -I’m new to reefing
Yeah. I'm new also. I could turn my lights down. Do you think that would be good?
 
I'm also not super experienced, but I think Frogspawns don't like having a ton of light.
I would just double check on your parameters as well, can't be too careful. I'm not sure which specific ones would cause bleaching, I just mostly knew that someone here would ask for them.
 
What kind of lighting are you using?
 
I'm using the fluval flex light, but I'm going to get an AI Prime HD light
I’m not familiar with the fluval lights but yea the frog spawn light moderate light moderate flow. If too close to the light I imagine it would bleach out or retract some (sorta act not happy)
