Hello,

Looking for ID on this coral.
I've had this coral for since early October this year and looking for care advice.
Recently noticed this coral is getting pale.
All the other corals in the tank are doing great, so I'm not sure what I should do to make this one happy again.

1.025 sg
25°C
point of sale 0.04ppm
NO3 2ppm
Alk 8.38 dkh
CA 434
Mg 1304
Radion G3 lights are limited to 35% full intensity at peak.
Low flow currently.
Using Red Sea Energy A|B every other day.

Am I lacking nutrients?
Not enough flow?
Not enough light?
I want to help this coral but at the same time not compromise the health of the other corals.
Should I separate and do a dip in iodine?

Wilsoni coral
Either rainbow or acid trip version. Moderate light and water flow
 
Symphyllia Wellsoni. They're collected in cold water and take a little time to transition into warmer temps in our tanks. They always "bleach out" during the process. If in good health, it'll come back though. Good luck!
 
An update.

A week ago, the very center of this coral developed little dark spotted pigments (imagine sprinkled cinnamon). Wasn't sure if this was a good thing. I thought it may have been diatom / algae.

Yesterday, those spotted pigments seem to be spreading out with the top developing a darker tone. I'm praying this is a sign of good health; natural color coming through. I'll grab some photos this weekend to share.
