both are bleached and need some tlc

Thanks guys! Any hints on how to get these guys to colour back up?

put them in lower light and they may come back , there is a point when bleaching is to much to recover from.

both are lower light corals but can tolerate high light if acclimated slowly.

of course like anything water quality has to be good and consistent or it just slows down the process.

cheers

What type of lighting do you have? They are definitely bleached so keep them at the bottom of the tank. Probably best in a shaded area or at the far sides of the tank to get less light. It will just take a lot of time to get the colours back.

I have T5 50/50 compact fluorescent lights. The stock lights that come with the RSM 130.

I moved them both to the bottom under a rock ledge, they still get light but its pretty well shaded.

It looks like it might (it's raised in the middle like a plate)



Unfortunately I can't get zoomed in enough from top down.

Is there anything extra special I can feed them to help them along and such?
