Default Coral bleaching...

I introduced three new frags from wendells & jacks today...

Those frags look okay, actually, two look really nice, 1 is kinda looking a bit paler then it did in the store, but has polyp extension so I dunno, I'll feed cyclopseeze tonite and see.

But, what concerns me is that now, after nearly 10 hours of these new frags being in the tank, my green birdsnest has suddenly retracted almost all polyps and is losing some colour (or I am hallucinating/overreacting). Is this a common occurence?

I moved the birdnest frag to a higher light location in the tank to see if it was just not getting enough light, altho I think the location it was in is fine as my monti cap is 3 or 4 inches below where it was and the cap is growing nicely.

The birdsnest has been in the tank 5 weeks or so and has shown growth - quarter to half an inch on some parts...

Any suggestions/tips from the experts out there?

Thanks.

Shane
