so all my perameters are in check and there was no changes except i moved the light upward and i also dimmed it and then these guys just started bleaching.

should i turn up the intensity because before i moved it up and dimmed it it was at 8 inches above water surface and100% on the prime to the full extension of the ai prime non bendable mount and to 80% intensity.

Since you said that you have dimmed the lights, I’d suggest not moving them. Corals will take a while to recover from bleaching. Furthermore they may continue to deteriorate before recovering.

ok so leave them be
Right, i dont think trying to change their position in tank would do them any better. It would be better to wait and observe them. I never had leptos bleach on me but I have acros, so I would iust leave them be and hope for the best. 75% of the time they’ll make it.
