15. Explanation of problem:it is bleaching started from the bottom up. Lady at the lfs (been in business 20+ yrs) said our lighting would be okay for it. Today I noticed the purple tint has faded even more to the point it looks like it is bleaching out...Mind you this is the first time I have ever had corals in my tank and my tank is around 8 yrs old. I do have the option to move it my smaller display tank that was being set up for seahorses if I need to move the coral
