I wanted to get expert opinion on this plate. I received it from someone dismantling their tank about two days ago. He had it at the bottom of a 180g tank for 4 years. I can’t imagine it bleached from lighting but I have not found any out there like it.

What par do you have it under? Also, look at it late at night. If it does puff up a lot, then how its shriveled now points to too much light.

Unfortunately par is out of my league for now as I can’t test for that.

Looks like it was bleached in the other guys tank. It’s got a ton of color back.
