Hey I was told that this was an Ora birds of paradise. It seems like it is bleaching to me. The polyp extension is great however the body looks like it is loosing color. Thoughts? Calc 440 mag 1400 alk 9 radion at 48%

Looks like BOP to me. And looks normal.IMO

Looks good to me, no bleaching or RTN/STN, and great polyp extension that is common with the ORA Bird of Paradise. This was a fast grower in my tank under moderate lighting.

What is rtn/stn?

Rapid or slow tissue necrosis. Its when the flesh of a coral starts dying off. A popular thing to look out for with SPS corals.

RTN usually happens within 24 hours the coral is gone

STN happens over a slower pace and better chance at saving to coral.
