I've seen corals that bleach from too little light go whitish aswell as the same result from too much light, because they're Florida rics they can take alot of light and the result is maybe the pc isn't giving them the spectrum they need to thrive, when my rics were left under a huge orange anchor because of shortage of room they were not so happy, most shrunk and were pale, they never quite recovered....

Frenchie, Does your tank get warm because heat is another factor of bleaching....

I would guess not enought light. I've found some little ones that have come loose under rocks before and they have been really translucent.

I've found that rics like a lot of light.
