Bleached Frag

[pcragg]

I just replaced my MH lighting. Went from 2 250 10ks and 2 175 10ks to 2 400 10ks and 2 VHO Actinics. I mounted the 400s about 4" higher than the previous setup because of temp concerns. The new light output seems like a whole lot more than it was before the change. Water params are fine, and temp stays right at 80.

A recently acquired acro frag bleached after the first day, so I moved it lower down in the tank. Other acros/frags are doing fine.

Any chance of this frag recovering? It still has its tissue. It just has its light blue zoo algae floating on the outside.

Thanks in advance

it will recover in my experience. it might not come back the same color but if the tissue and polyps are okay it will come back.
