IS my frog Spawn Bleaching? Should I take action?

[James Hammett]

Put these in here a month ago under vipra spectra lights Blues at 95% whites at 5%. I am batteling Nitrates upwards of 40 ppm. Cyano bloom and Treating tank with Kick Ick currently. I can take them out and put them in my Bio Cube which has always done well with Euphyllia. Thoughts???

Evening,

They look ok to me. They will not bleach, sps bleach when the tissue on the skeleton turns white. What you are looking for is signs of missing polyps and skeleton showing. I don’t see any from the pics.

I have never used kick ich, so cannot say if it is irritating them. I have found they handle higher nitrates ok. where are you on Po4?

UGH Didn't write down PO4 on last test it was >2 if I remember right. Ill test when I go back to classroom this afternoon. I was also told it could have been too much light. I have Vipar Spectra lights 2 165 watt lights. I had blues on 12 hrs at 95% and whites on 4 hrs at 5%. dropped blues to 60% and whites to 1%.and moved the smaller of the two pieces to my biocube.
