Frogspawn blanching

[grussell]

I have had a frogspawn in my tank for about 6 weeks or so. It has five heads. All the tentacles come out daily, however, one of the heads is losing the brownish color of the tentacle. The green tip is intact and normal, but the brown areas are getting pale. I've noticed that this is the area where my brittlestar sometimes let's his leg hang over from his cave. The frogspawn otherwise seems fine, aside from the color loss. It is on the bottom of the tank. I've got my photon 48s at 50 percent max at this point, I don't think they are the problem--unless they aren't turned up enough. Tank params have been fine and are in my sig.

how deep is the coral? you may actually be bleaching the coral, leds are strong and lps usually like a little less light than some coral or it may just be getting used to your spectrum.

It is in the substrate, right next to the rock structure so it gets some shade. It is really just one polyp head that is doing this.

Then I would just keep an eye on it.
