U will know whether the coral is bleached when you know what is their natural colour. My two cents

this is what i thought so

so you use your own judgment la

IMO, MOST corals will look a minimum brown due to the golden brown zooxathellae in their tissues. So far the only white corals I've seen are SPS

but the white prata got abit of green lines leh.... then dun dare to ask the LFS if its bleached... later kena flamed.... is there really white prata in the wild??

[blueheaven]

That means it is partially bleached

Those are the remaining zooxathellae
