pics indicate the white stripes, signs of bleaching out, it was on a highflow high light placement, could this be the cause of this coral strating to bleach out?

i thought that trachys like strong lighting

maybe its the high flow? i put him in a cave with low flow and low light, and i never saw him open his tentacles to feed, how do i get him to eat?

It doesn't look bleached out to me, just kind of upset at the moment. If lighting & flow are both low where it's at now then you might want to leave it alone for a couple weeks and see how it responds. Dropping a few pellets or maybe a small piece of shrimp on the coral every 4 or 5 days wouldn't be such a bad idea either. GL.
