I purchased a frag pack a couple months ago from Nicks387. Included in that pack was a Jesus Staghorn. It has grown nicely in my tank, but something is really off with the color. I have no green in it, and it looks bleached, but my other corals don't. I run an 8 bulb dimmable ATI fixture 12" off the water line, and this particular piece is about 8" below that. Could it be that my tunze 6105 is pointed too directly at it and flow is the cause?

Were the brown spots bare skeleton before the brown?
