I bought a bright red scoly a few months ago, around its edges it has lost its colour, while the inner part is still bright red. It has been like the for quite a while, I was told it was just adapting to my lighting but im sure it is bleached tissue so I need to figure out the cause.

In the shop it was under a Maxspect Razor LED set at 70% white channel and 100% blue channel. In my tank it also under a Razor but mine is set at 50% whites, 70% blues. If lighting isnt an issue, could it be something to do with water parameters? I keep them all in check, all other LPS and softies are thriving.
 
might it be receding rather than bleaching? scolys really need to be feed often meaty foods 2 times a week to keep a plumpness about them.

No it still gets nice and plump during the day, its just its colour has gone grey around the edges. My LFS said they bleach from the edge inwards. I try and feed it at least once a week but its difficult because its feeders are only out when its dark so unless im up early in the morning I cant feed it.
