Hey all. I have had a birdsnest coral in my tank for several months. It has exhibited decent growth, but recently I have noticed that the base and a few low stems around the frag plug are bleaching. The polyps are still visible mostly, but its all white.
Tank stats:
Nitrates: 10 ppm (just did two back-to-back 10% PWC)
Nitrites: 0
Ammonia: 0
Phosphates: 0
Calc: 460
Alk: 7 Degrees
Temp: 80
Here is a couple pictures. I read somewhere that it is normal as it grows for the bottom to bleach out due to not getting light. Just want to make sure there isn't a problem.
Also, I was running (2) 150 Watt 14K HQI. This weekend we got new 10K bulbs. There is also (4) T5 atinic.
Full tank shot:
Anything to worry about?
