Which test kits are you using to test nitrate and phosphate? What do the other Acros look like? It looks bleached to me, not starving.

Agreed, but right now it has hardly any zooxanthellae to protect it from the lights, so moving it up right now would roast it. Don't you think?

50/50 really. I've moved bleached pieces up high without issue, and with issues. I would at least start moving it closer. Maybe go halfway back up and leave it alone for 3 months, see what it does.
