In all blues I can't even tell what kind of coral it is to give advise.

+1 we will definitely need a better picture to give you any advice at all : /

 

[Hardridge]

Hope this is better

 

[Mrc8858]

Chalice maybe.. does it have "eyes" on it

 

[Mrc8858]

Also what lighting did this originally come from and.how deep compared to lighting and depth when it began to bleach.

 

[Hardridge]

No eyes

 

[Mrc8858]

Montipora then. They are a high light coral but still need to be light acclimated. That would be my guess for bleaching

 

[Hardridge]

I think it is a chslice

 

[Hardridge]

It's been in this spot for a bit I have LEDs they use to be about 5-6 inches from water I now have them about 10-11 from Water should I pull them up more?

 

[Mrc8858]

What lighting were they under from where your bought it

 

[Hardridge]

I think
MH but it's been under LEDs for 6-7 months. Seems to be fine on one sife

 

[Mrc8858]

Are any of the other corals touching it?

 

[Hardridge]

Nope just checked again. It's on a rock by itsrlf

My red montipora has done that twice in the last year never figured out why my green monti and my grape monti has never done this but it does always recover kinda strange
