I picked up a really nice purple pavona decussata frag at a frag swap about two weeks ago. The vendor said that they use LEDs at their shop so not much light acclimation would be required if I have LEDs (which I do). I started then out in the bottom third anyway and all the frags I got are doing great except for the pavona. It's showing a little bleaching around the base. More so today than yesterday. My lights peak at just 65% and you would think the vendors would typically have theirs cranked up a bit higher. I moved it to the bottom of the tank for now. Suggestions? Anything besides light that I should be looking at?

Crisis is over. Back to your homes people. Nothing more to see here. I moved it to the sand bed and the color came back. I love a success story!
 
You must have some good LEDs there man. Glad to here your new treasure is doing well.
