I have a coral in my tank that was green,but now its totally white.I'm guessing its bleaching but I'm very new to any coral.What can I do to unbleach it or is it now dead?

Any possible way you could take a picture? Do you know what kind of coral it is? What are your water parameters? How long have you had it? What type of lighting? How long has the tank been up and running? As much info as possible would help.

Don't know anything about coral.It came with the tank.I have checked my parameters by the test strips they all say its ok.I have also checked by using drops but the person I bought the tank from only had the nitrate card and the phosphate cards.Both read ok according to the cards.I have other tests but no cards to tell if the parameters are fine or not.I'm running 250w MH with T5 acintics.The tank for me has been running about 4 days.I tried and put as much of his water back into the tank.I have a Lawnmower blenny,2 Goby,hi fin Goby,occeslaris clown,and I believe a hawkfish.I used RO water from walmart I figured its better than my tap.
