Bleaching??

[reeferkeeper420]

Will corals recover after bleaching? I have one small frag that appears to be turning white.. i dont see any tissue so i dont thing its stn or rtn. Do i just leave it if it fully turns white?

 

[reeferkeeper420]

What do u guys think?

Corals can often recover after bleaching. Whether or not you should let it go totally white, or move it.... I don't know.

I've got an acropora Loripes that started bleaching after I installed the metal halides but I moved it down in the tank and now it is colouring up again after several weeks.

Almost likes like rtn. If it is more white tomorrow I would definitely move it.

It came from an led system, and i run t5s, maybe too much light?

Here is what I would do if it mine. If it on top, move it to the meddle. If it in the meddle, move it down a little bit more or turn down your light if you can. I would do it asap because almost half of the tissue is gone already and it is a small frag. If it rtn or stn, I would talk to it a little more

my sps does good under led and most came from an lfs under halides i find my darker colour ones like the intense light more and the faint ones do better a little lower is it getting lots of water movement

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Yeah id say is getting adequate water movement and good light. So maybe a litle lower. Maybe ill put it at the bottom of my tank.

Welcome to my world lately. I can not figure it out.
They seem to just decide one day, hey I hate you and i'm turning white to piss you off.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Definately seems that way.

Completely white today.

It can be hard to see if there is still flesh left unless you actually see the flesh falling off... but can you see any polyp extension?

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Never had any.

 

[curiousphil]

Bummer guess you just have to wait it out and see what it does!
