Finger Leather turned white, looks good though

[mrsixstrings12]

I added my first 2 corals (for my new tank) in a few weeks ago. 1 Devils Hand and 1 Finger Leather. About 2 weeks ago my finger leather turned completely white and looked somewhat "melting". Yet, the polyps still come out and overall, not minding the color, the coral looks fantastic. The melting aspect has since gone away but the coral seems to have shrunk a little. He was placed about midway in the tank and when I noticed the changes I moved him down a few inches.

Tank Specs:
120 gallon w/ 38g sump
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0-5
Calcium: approx 400ppm
Phosphate: 0-.25
Temp: 78.7
pH:8.24

As far as I know, there are no pests in my tank that would touch because it is relatively new and I have not seen any during day or night.

Anyone have any ideas???

Edit: The Devils Hand looks awesome. I run Evergrow LEDs and had no problem using them with my old tank which I kept around 10 different corals.

Guessing light shock. Probably came from a lower light environment.

Exactly the same thing happened with mine. I moved it to a lower place in the tank and the colour came back in a week or so. Looks much better now.

Mrsixstrings12, here's a pic of my tank (yes, the cyano is gross):



The finger coral regained its colour after I moved it down to its current position; at first it was a level up (where the brown toadstool is) and became bleached. As you've moved yours down already, just give it a couple of weeks and see if the colour comes back. Good luck!
