Default Rock turning white
Where my rock was a nice purple it has turned bright white at the highest point of the rock as if it was splashed with bleach.

Any Ideas??

IMO its the new lights. I just upgraded my lighting and noticed some coraline loss on some rocks, aswell as some mild bleaching of corals. It should grow back in time. If I was smart I would have reduced my photo period, and over time gradually increased it again rather than subject everything in my tank to such intense lighting all at once.
