Maze coral fading

[deputydawg88]

Hi All

I bought a maze coral approximately 2 weeks ago and the greens seem to be fading. What can I do to prevent this or turn it around? I have tried to target feed about an hour after lights out but I'm struggling to find a balance between ensuring the coral gets plenty of food and keeping nitrates down. What more can I do?

Find it some shade perhaps? IME these corals don't really need a lot of light.

How are you water parameters?

Everything is fine, I haven't tested yet this week but the coral isn't showing any signs of bleaching and the fading greens seems to have slowed/stopped, though some with just a small green disc. Unless of course this is bleaching? The rest of the purpleish-brown is fine and if anything more intense.
