SPS bleaching???

[PeTe PoLyP]

I know without a picture it will be almost impossible for you guys to give me a definate answer. I cannot get what i think may be bleaching to photograph. I have one acro that has turned bright green aroun the tip, some of the corallites on the top and on the base. The only thing that i have changed recently is the lighting. I swapped out 1 actinic bulb and 1 ATI coral+ for 12.000k bulbs. Does this sound like its being burned?? I will do my best to get some pictures.

Not going to be much help I'm sure, but its the best I can do

Looks like it could be new growth. I'd wait and see

Bright green is usually good...

Hard to tell from the pics, but +1 for new growth not bleaching.

Thanks guys. I hope it is new growth, this frag has had a hard time, about a month ago it fell into an acan lord and about 1/3 of it got stung. Something i did notice, its turning green on the side thats facing away from the light from the most part. It looks as if its thinking about turning blue on the corallites on the side with the lights. So hopefully its getting happy now

Sorry for the bad picture. it was taken with an extremely junky cell phone. This is when it fell into the acan. 3-23

That one doesn't look too good but your most recent one is definitely new growth. All of my sps get white tips as they grow
