So since my light bulb change all my coralline has been completely bleached, there are some areas under rocks or in shaded areas that some remain for now. its been about 3-4 weeks since I changed my bulbs and im wondering if it will even come back nothing new has started to appear? Does anyone have advice? Mabey my is light to close all my perms are perfect!

Here are some pics of the rocks and how white they became, it used to be a very vibrant light purple.

It will eventually. It takes a while for it to grow back. But once it started it will take off like a weed.

how old were the previous bulbs? also did you lift the fixture up after replacing the bulbs?

I have bleached stuff in the fast by replacing the bulbs without raising the fixture. Now I raise it to the top of the legs and drop it 1/2 way to my desired point after one week and then to the point after 2 weeks.

you'll be fine, nothing to worry about
