I think its because of your strong lighting.

I remember seeing the effect of strong lighting on brain in one of the bro's tank. Part of his brain turned white too directly under the 250W MH light.

Another thing to note is that the brain dont like strong current. I read it from one of the books.

It has bleached mostly due to exposure to too strong lighting that the coral isn't used to.

It's still alive but I suggest moving it to a shadier area. It may take a few months but it will colour back up.

You may have to feed it with meaty foods like mysis shrimps to help it along.

250watts :)

All my LPS don't do well under direct 250w MH. I always place them at the side of the tank away from direct light.

The LPS I placed in my wife's tank with PL & T5 do well.

I've got a brain that is badly bleached. I place it away from my MH and fed it with meaty market prawn (w/o shell) soaked with Kent zeo (vitamin) and it recovered.

You can view the brain b4 & after in her thread (sorry can't find the pic in my harddisk):

      BITCOIN RECOVERY SIMPLIFIED, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS.

      contact@ digitaltechguard .com website link:: https://digitaltechguard.com telegram +56 997 059 700 Being an artist living in Miami, my life has always been filled with creativity, inspiration, and the ups and downs of a fluctuating income. However, nothing could prepare me for the financial blow I experienced when I fell victim to an online scam. Losing $25,000 felt like losing a part of my identity, as those funds represented not just my savings but also dreams and aspirations for my art. I found myself feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain about the future. In the midst of this turmoil, I began searching for solutions to recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially, I was skeptical. Like many, I had read about recovery services that promised the world but often delivered nothing. However, my instincts told me to reach out to them, and I’m so glad I did. From the very first interaction, the team at Digital Tech Guard Recovery was professional and compassionate. They took the time to understand my situation, guiding me through the recovery process step by step. What impressed me most was their commitment to transparency; there were no upfront fees, which put my mind at ease during a time when I could least afford to take further financial risks. Digital Tech Guard Recovery walked me through the necessary documentation and evidence collection to support my case. They were patient, answering all my questions and providing me with updates throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it was comforting to know that I was in capable hands. It felt as if I had a team of advocates on my side, fighting to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Over the next few weeks, I watched as they diligently worked on my case. They kept me informed about their progress and what steps were being taken. I had almost lost hope, but their determination reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news that my funds had been successfully recovered. I couldn't believe it—I was overjoyed. This experience not only restored my finances but also rekindled my belief in support systems. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
