That's great news. Some of mine are starting to do the same thing as well. I lost 2 frags of acropora, the rest seem that it's going to come back.

Though I lost all my xenias, all my blue photosynthetic sponges and all my pink digitatas plus a few frags of paly and zoanthids. Really wierd how selective this was.

Just make sure you don't put the ligth too long for a few weeks to les them recover and stop them from bleaching more. As long as they have polyps, they usually come back.

I am using the halide for 5 hours per day now. I don't have anything else that can provide for my coral because the other tubes are just PC actinic and can't sustain corals, but seem that just cutting the amount of time by a few hours is preventing further bleaching. I went from 9 hours of MH to 5, so cut it about half for now.
