Plates
Can plates lose their color if they get too much light?

Usually when corals lighten up they're getting too much light and they will brown out if not getting enough.

Probably depends on the type. Mine thrive no matter what. They don't get that much light, but I've never seen any bleaching.

Too much light stimulates the production of excessive Zooanthellates which tends to turn the coral brown Correct (lesser) amounts of little light leaves the natural coral colour as dominant. This all assumes the light is of the appropriate type/wavelength etc etc. |
