Is this what bleaching looks like?

[MsBeanCtr]

I got this coral about a month ago. I moved it a couple of weeks ago and the top section of the coral seems to be getting much lighter (while the side-towards the bottom- remains the darker brownish color). I moved it back down towards the bottom.

My question-does this coral look like it is bleaching? If so, is moving it simply going to correct the situation or should I consider moving it to my other tank that has t5 ho lighting? (it's under mh lighting currently)

TIA!

I think you had it under too much light. Platygyra? If so, it probably wants to be closer to the bottom with halides. Mine is about 2/3 the way down my tank under compact fluorescents and is very happy there.
