Is my torch bleaching and what can I do?

Thanks everyone for the reassurance. The torch is my favorite coral and I’d hate to have anything bad happen to it. Probably just being a nervous tank mom.

It might actually color up under more lighting. My torch looked like that when it was on the sand bed and turned neon green when I moved it up too.

Stop changing your intensity.
Corals really hate that

You change your intensity during acclamation. Though you may not touch the lights, you are moving the coral into higher lighting. There’s nothing wrong with changing intensity. Going from old t5 bulbs to new ones changes intensity. With led’s you eventually have to ramp the lights up to where you want to be par wise. There’s nothing wrong with upping intensity...
