but this thread was suppost to be a helpful link, not an issue i am facing

Oh ok...I guess I figured out who Doug is then.

Sounds like you have the "diagnosis" right then. I too have lost corals to bleaching from too much light too quickly. I agree about the birdsnest too--have to be careful about how much light they get. Even my hot pink birdsnest turns pale in high light. Once I moved it to lower light, it colored back up.
