bleach chalice, what to do?

[stryker]

a chalice that i recently added was really stressed and i probably gave it too much light too fast. it has almost completely bleached and i was wondering what i should do with it. it is receiving partial direct and partial indirect light from 250w phoenix hqi bulb and is 1/3 of the way from the bottom.

if i leave it there, will it adjust to the light and heal? i don't think it is too much light for this type of coral but in hindsight i may have acclimated it too quickly.

or should i move it to a shaded area?

thanks,

put it in the sand on low light

Don't wait for it to acclimate, move it low and to the sand bed, maybe partially shaded until it starts to color up.

you got another chalice? hmmm. I get back in town on Tuesday, if you want to come by and pick up the others. Chalice hound.

+1 on the sand with filtered light or partial shade.
