Well I am assuming it is burning from the light, I should have said bleaching.
I got the open brain about two months ago, it is a Trachyphyllia species which is supposed to require less light than other species. The colors faded out to a very pale color, I had it on the front sandbed with no shading. Then I read on RC about this type of brain being a lower-light coral, so I moved it under an overhang a few days ago.
Unfortunately all along the brain would not feed and today it completely disintegrated, not sure if this was due to light shock, starvation, or perhaps proximity to a leather in its new location.
