Hey Guys,

I got this torch coral and found it was looking bleached in the store but I still bought it. I was wondering if it's actually bleached.

What do you think?

Also, could you get a pic with a filter or more whites? It does look bleached and as @SPS Freak mentioned, put it low light for several weeks

Looks like it to me. I’d keep it in lower light for a while until it gets some zooxanthellae back.

Yes it's in a place in my tank where it's about 30 PAR at the moment.
