My coral brain colour since to be bleach for red to transparent pink. Is it due to strong lighting?

[SubzeroLT]

Yes. Likely due to strong light. Place in in low light area like shaded or far corners of the tank. Hopefully it'll recover in several weeks/months.

Oic, thank for your advice.

If the flesh are exposed. will it still recover?

[SubzeroLT]

If you can see through the flesh, it means the zooxanthellae has been expelled - hence translucent.

If there is still hope if there is still some color -> some zooxanthellae present. Put in low light areas & feed it more regularly (once every few days) since its not able to get much nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae. There is a chance the zooxanthellae will multiply & regain color.

Personally, my first open brain bleached badly (almost white + loss of flesh). Going through the above 'treatment' the past 4 months. Its ~80% recovered.

This is how it look like.

Meaning there no change to recover ?

[mi_edmund]

This is the one have been bleached to transparent pink.

[SubzeroLT]

Quite serious indeed. Mine was almost as bad but made it.

Its a life. Give it a fighting chance to survive.

Yup, do agree with you, I have move it to my sump for them to rest and hopeful they can recover from it.

Is there light in your sump?

I am thinking of doing that since I have a situation similar to you.
