I have a frag of Cyphastrea that I saved from a fellow reefer today. It's base has bleached, but the polyps are still pink. Before it bleach, it had a green base with pink polyps, similar to this:

Does it stand any chance of being saved? What's the best way to nurse it back to health. It was under t5. I have a 150W on my solana. Should I start it low and begin to move it up. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
I would definately start it out low and move it up slowly. You may want to think about removing a small frag if it continues to bleach.
 
Stick that puppy on the sand bed.These corals grow very fast and IMO don't need that much light.Its probably bleached.
 
My Meteor Shower did the same thing, based turned all white. Blue base has been coming back slowly with low light.
