I bought some SPS frags on EBay. They came in bleached. I placed them in my frag tank and they recovered completely, but it took two months!
 
PO4 is .04 and NO3 is .50 still trying to raise it to 1-2ppm but things are still going in the right direction. I have also adding 8ml of Energy A and 8ml of Energy B by Red Sea every day. Colors are def looking better!
 
I swear by this pcture and how white the top side of the coral is and how dark the underside is. It has to be an issue of to much light?

I think i might run 4 bulbs for 6 hours instead of running all 6. Run 2 for an hour cut off run for for 6 hours cut off and cut 2 back on for an hour.
 
It's not a matter of too much light, but quite possibly a matter of too much light too soon. Did you start it low in the tank?
 
That coral has been in the tank since June of last year. But, yes when I got it I started it out on the bottom and moved it up slowly its about half way in the tank.
 
I have some birdsnests directly under the LEDs at the top of the tank and they are still keeping color. some on the sand bed also doing well.
