What's happening here? Too much light? Not enough light? here's the history.
The coral sits on the sand. A couple of months ago I noticed it turning white. It was getting hit with about an hour of natural sunlight from a nearby window. I moved it over about 3 inches where the sunlight never hit, and tried to be mindful to keep the curtains drawn in the afternoon when the sun hit. With a new tank build, I all but ignored this tank-just fed the fish every other day and the corals once or twice a week. It always had good extension and ate. I guess at first I thought that it was coloring back up, but now I realize that what I thought was red returning is actually brown.
