Purple stylo bleaching

[WJC02]

This purple Stylo has been in my tank for a week or two, and it's beginning to turn white. It's pretty big and two of the twenty branches are bleaching. What can I do to prevent/stop this? I just checked my parameters and everything's where is supposed to be. Thanks

Bleaching or losing flesh?

What are you using for lighting?

Currently LEDs and flourescents. Looking to upgrade soon. And I think it's losing flesh.

If it was just bleaching I'd try to shade it or dial back lighting, especially whites in your LEDs.

Reason I ask is they're completely different things that may be resolved (or not) by different interventions. Have any quality pics of what you're talking about?

Thanks, I reduced the light over it. I can't get a good picture, but if I were to describe them, they lost all of their polyps and color. I can clearly see the cavaliers that the polyps were in.

Welcome to RTN. Frag it up or pray are basically your two options.

I'm testing with API kits

Ditch them. Get a Hanna alk and salfert for everything else basically.
