Bleaching seriatopora

[needmorecowbell]

I have a neon green polyped birds nest and now that I have leds, it's started to bleach. I dimmed the lights and moved the coral down a bit but it is still pretty white in some parts. Is there anything I can do other than what I'm doing now? It's a 30 gal with 20 sump. 120w dimmable LEDs, mainly sps.

I forgot to say, there IS polyp extension on the whiter parts.

Anyone?

When I bleached my birds nest it took about a week or two for color to start coming back.

As long as your water is good and you still have pe, I wouldn't worry. Birdsnest are pretty hardy and with lowering the coral and dimming, it should start coloring up within a week or 2.

It's been a week or so, and I do see some coloration. Thanks everyone. I'm sure that it will be as dark as it was when I had my t5s sooner or later.
