light bleached SPS

[pompeyjohn]

I rescaped, and a few small frags of SPS are now placed higher in the tank now.

Sadly they are pretty much bright white now with only a hint of polyps here and there. Lesson learned.

Is it likely they'll ever come back?

Sure , just takes time if they survive. A bleaching event can be extremly stressful, it's akin to 3rd degree burns for us humans.

Thanks Joe, fingers crossed then.

Did you move them down to a lower light area so they can heal?

 

[hollister]

Yes lower lights to reduce stress and also keep flow in mind...

They will recover with good water quality and lowering the amount of light they get until they are acclimated.
