I have had the frag in the tank for about 2 month yesterday it starting bleaching when I got home today to was 80 % bleached out. The tank it came from had LEDs. I mounted the frag 3/4 way up no idea what caused it.

Tank standard 75 gallon 2 250 MH 2 super attinic t5
Water pram
Temp 78-79.5
Lights Mh 7 hours t5 10 hours
Nitrate < 5 Red Sea
Nitrite 0 API
Calcuim 460 Red Sea
Alk 9 Red Sea
Phosphates .02 Hanna
Flow 2 wp 25 running 100% in else mode.
Is it possible it's just now bleaching from light 2 months later.
 
Params seem great. How old are your lights? Do you have a par meter? May help for optimal placement correlated to flow area.
Good Luck......
 
Bulbs are less then 30 days old. Par is 250-275 placement is half way. Flow is great I have a pink birds nest in the same area doing great.
