my only advice is try dosing some trace elements although it will still take weeks-months to regain its full color. Also would make sure its not getting overlighted

Also i would run a overall test of the main elements of your tank and make sure everything is in line.

Edit- as for lighting/placement it all depends on depth of your tank and how high up your lights are. best to rent a Par meter from your LFS.

certain trace elements promotes certain colors. thats the kit i use normally and make sure you dose correctly though.

Your coral is bleached.......just move it away from direct light so it can darken back up. Then move it accordingly out into the open again.

Once it's populated with zoo you can probably move it to an area with full light and par.

I wouldn't add any foods/additives or elements.

So now I'm noticing lots of color! Polyps extension is not the best but it's still maybe a 1inch frag but it is incrusting
