Are my corals Bleached?
Hi all, Im a noob pretty much, If It wasn't for goodle and reefcentral I probably would have given up before I started so let me start by saying thank you all for asking questions and giving answers. Basically Ive been noticing lately my duncan Isn't looking as colorful as it usually does, Does It look Bleached? lights just came on 45 mins before i took the picture.
   110 gallon, 30 gallon sump, reef breeder photon led. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Calcium 480 temp 79.7 Btw while I'm asking does anyone know the name of the green one?

I have a Duncan that is honestly almost the same color. He's growing new heads and seems very happy. Always open and flowing in the current. It's actually one of my favorite corals in that tank. I'm not familiar with your LED's, are you able to control the white/blue mix? More blue may help bring out more green. And did you change lighting, or is that what you've had on the tank?

The reefbreeder photons are fully programmable, a set and forget it type deal and I've been running the same light program for about 4 months. more white during the day more blues at night. when the blues come on the colors of the coral seem to jump out at you.
