I have a piece of bonsai coral that did the same thing. It was up closer to the top, about 12 inches from the lights. Moved it down to about 18 inches down and the colour has returned on the new growth. My Valida was high up as well colour was drab on it as well. Moved it down and it seems to be colouring up too. I also had some hammer coral on the bottom of my aquarium turn white and moved them into a large cave under my live rock (out of the direct light). They coloured up after a month.
I do have several sps coral high in my aquarium, red planet, cali tort, purple pocci, green elkhorn, blue tip - green slimmer, orange & forest fire digi, purple cross and lots of different montis. They all seem to very well. I also have some others that have good colour, but the growth isn't great. These include, pink lemonade, pearl berry, Hawkins coral.
If my lights are too intense, should I move them up? They are currently 6 inches above the water. What height should I move them to?
And thanks everyone. Really appreciate the help!
