Cats Paw Bleaching

[Azazael13]

I recently got a piece of cats paw coral, and for the first week or two it was doing fine. Now it seems to be bleaching. The weird thing is that I still have polyp extension. None of my other SPS are showing any signs of problems. From what I read cat paws like a lot of light, so it is higher up in my tank (started lower down and was moved). Any thoughts on what could be happening? I plan on doing a water change tomorrow, but aside from that I am baffled. The fact that I still have polyp extension is just really weird to me.

How long has it been in your tank. You say you had it up high, was that right away. Maybe your lights are stronger than where it came from?

I have had it for roughly 2 weeks. As I said I started it about 1/4 of from the bottom, and now it is 1/3 of the way from the top.
