What is going on?

this guy hasn't grown that i can tell. I've had it a couple months. The white is concerning me though. I thought maybe too much light because it happened after I got kessil light controller. He was still pretty much on the bottom of the tank though. When I seen it turning white i moved it under a rock overhang so it wouldn't be too intense but still hasn't recovered.

Did you have a picture you were adding to this post? Also share your parameters and they type of flow you have it in.

Hi here is a photo of a coral that loves my effective but affordable led lighting.

Your tank looks somewhat.... immature? How old is this tank? I would wait a few months before adding lps corals. If this is not the case, it looks like it’s getting too much light or something. Try moving it into a more shaded area.

You're parameters look good. When was your last water change?

It's strange, I know you've moved it but have you tried reducing the intensity of the white lighting? I also would have suggest RS Reef energy or spot dosing aminos.

He's had the piece for couple of months and he did move it.

Yeah it seemed like it. Your parameters could be fluctuating.

I do weekly water changes mainly because I have used only untreated well water since startup and I'm doing weekly rodi water changes to replace well water
