Hey I have a new torch coral and its turning white! Why and what does this mean is it dying?

Your lights might be burning it up. Move it down in the tank perhaps?

It could be that it is getting too much light at once than it is used to. Therefore the bleaching affect is what you could be seeing. I would lower it in the tank like is stated before and see if that works.
