Stylophora Coral

[nelson]

Hello all,

My larger stylophora coral has started to bleach. My water chemistry appears to be fine, no issues jump out at me. Water temp is 78.5°C. Just wondering what you think the issue could be. Is it possible that not enough flow could cause it to bleach? Any help is appreciated.

Strong flow is needed. If you're questioning the amount of flow then that is probably why its bleaching. I had one bleach from lack of flow before. Goodluck

water parameters?
light?
how other corals are doing?

I have xr30 gen 4 pro for lights. All other corals look good. Water parameters are all good as well. I have since moved the coral and stopped the bleaching but the parts that were bleached never came back.
