acan

Hello , I purchased a nice little frag of lavender acan 1 week ago today. Last night I did a 25 gallon water change and fed. Everything was fine in my tank. Today I come home from work and my acan is on the sand and white. It still has specks of color but they are more pink and purple than its original lavender. I am sure it is bleached but what would have caused this? Water is amm 0 , trates less than 10 , calcium is between 400-420 , sg 1.24 temp runs between 76-78. What did I do wrong?
