Trachyphyllia Bleaching

[AcanFiend]

Hey all,

My tank has been up and running almost 7 weeks. I put in a nice trachyphyllia around 2 weeks ago and recently it has started to bleach from the outside and lose color.

I am a newb at this so not sure what could have caused it. Calcium is 450 Alk is 9.3 nitrate 7.5.

Any help is much appreciated

We need more details, especially the light and placement

It is on the substrate of a 60 cube with an AI Blue Sol about 14 inches off the tank

What lighting percentage.... those had 70/40 lenses it is most likely getting too much light i would move it to a shaded location

 

[AcanFiend]

royal and blue at 80% and white at 20%. Didn't think of that i will move it,thanks

Move it to the shade and feed it,
