Bleached or no

[stravo71]

Got this piece about a month ago as a rescue. It was in a friend's tank that wasn't ready for coral. I thought it was Bleached and have been trying to bring it back to health. I called him amd asked him of condition when he bought it. He said it was white with green eyes. The same as now. Has anyone seen a favia like this even if it is a favia. Thanks for the input

Forgot to add. It has grown since placed in my tank. It inflates and looks healthy. All my params check out. Just never seen a favia this white other than bleached.

Definitely bleached. Place it under an overhang for a month or so.

See that's the crazy thing. Thats where its been at since I got it . Laying under my overhang back in a cave I built. Will let it there longer. Just wanted another opinion if it were bleached ither than my own.(which is usually wrong) lol

I've had bleached corals take over 6 months to color back up, it takes a while sometimes.

Lack of food and or water quality can bleach corals just the same.

I fees all my corals 2 times a week with hufa fortified foods. I checked my water and my friends water amd we were both spot on. His had a little more trates than me. I'm just gonna turn the coral into a gremlin and stuff it in a dark plave for a while.
