You got the rock from Dez, correct?
Was the rock in his sump?
Not sure what lighting he has on that...
Check with him, but it does sound like a light amount change.
Too much too fast maybe...?

It should purple up again as the tank matures.

Sounds like the lights are the cause of the bleeching. Minor bleeching happened to me when I bought some rock from Des (under 192 watts of pc lighting). Then I got some major bleeching when I switch to 2x175watts of MH lighting. After a couple of months, everything is starting to turn purple again.
