Bleached frag?

i just bought 6 frags from a fellow reefer on Saturday,btw I've heard good things bout this guy from fellow canreefers.so having said that-I went to meet this guy and paid for the frags but since the good "reviews" I did not bother to inspect the corals,if they were in good health.when I got home,I pulled the bags of corals out and much to my dismay,4 frags weren't even on plugs and 3 of the SPS frags did not look so good.not really sure with what to do with the 1 that seems to have expelled its zooxanthelae.any suggestions?thanks

bleaching

a study was done at the austrailian institute that feeding rotifers helps bleaching in corals

I did. Whiter parts look like growth tips to me.

Oh, sure, let's get him worked up again :) No, that's typical tip growth and expected for the species.

Frags look fine.

How long after picking up frags did u get home. Some pieces will look diff in your tank as well as take time to acclimate. I put a nice piece in my tank and it took a month before true colors show'd.

Not all frags come on plugs. I like frags on plugs but only because I snap them off glue to rock and grow out the plug where they have encrusted
