Hello

i have 4 Acanthophyllia deshayesiana in different color, 2 green and 1 red and 1 in rainbow color. The green and the red looks perfekt, but the rainbow has over the last periode lost a lot of its color, it looks like its is bleaching and turns transperant.

They are all in the same place in the tank so i cant find out what is wrong whit the rainbow, does any body have an ideea what could be wrong ?

My Water paralements are good
kh 9
ca 450
mg 1450
po4 0,02
no3 5-8

My light is t5 and mh over the tank

Hope some body can help my, i hate to lose this beauty coral

How are they positioned in the tank relative to the lighting (i.e. which ones ar e in brighter light which ones in dimmer?). These don't like much flow and do much better with occasional (weekly) feeding.
 
They all sits on the buttom, in low light, the flow is also low around them, i trey to feed them all that i can with small pellets and mysis, 1-2 times per week. They sure like that :-)

They all sits in the same amount of light, but maybe i shoud try to put they rainbow in some more shadede area
