My Tank Thread
I've got an acanthophyllia that has bleached quite a bit. He's not in direct light, so it doesn't seem like it's likely to be a high lighting issue. Everything else in the tank seems to be doing fine and has great colors.
This seems to have occurred when our AC broke for a few days and it got HOT in here (over 90 degrees in the house at times). I think the hottest the tank got was 83.5, but still I've read that this can also cause these guys to bleach.
From what I'm reading it may also bleach from a lack of food. How often should I target feed?
What care recommendations to bring this guy back?
