i think u better not touch it...one of mine also bleaching..now it is total white...dunno when it will die...waiting only...

[ryz]

wah... u all put too near the light lah.. put near sandbed... in shady area...

[weishun]

My brain is directly on the sandbed... but still under the light.... must still put under shade?

[ryz]

hmm.. like that shouldn't be lighting problem already.. doesn't sound like shock from sudden exposure to light of much higher intensity..

[Zanclus]

probably lack some supplements... certain trace elements .

probably under sudden shift in light intensity...........try acclimalising it from bottom and slowly shifting it to your desire spot. My red/green open brain is directly under 250W 10MH after 3months of acclimalising.......it shows no sign of bleaching.........so I presume strong lightings is not an issue, probably is the acclimalising part.
