It looks like it's bleaching (to my untrained eye). They prefer low light and low flow... I put mine down in a nook that is sort of a shadowy area that doesn't get a lot of flow... Have you tried moving it to a different area?

Ya I took that picture I think a day or two after I moved it. Might put it in the sand when I get home from work

it's nighttime, so I'm not sure how well you can see the shadow, but it's being protected on all 3 sides from flow, there's almost 0 flow over it... Hopefully, it helps you with placement

Moved it again to the sand and where I think there’s like no flow.
