Is that a before and after shot?

I've had terrible luck with brain corals bleaching. I now put them in a shady spot in my tank and they do OK and do come back, but not really my favorite coral.

One is with lights on an other is with lights off

 

[Pat24601]

OK. I can't really tell. This is beyond my expertise. Let's see what others think.

 

[Bradley]

Sounds good

If you know anyone that could give input would be greatly appreciated

Did it change color or is this the same color it always has been?
Have you changed anything in your tank like the lighting?

 

[Bradley]

Same color it has been have the 18 watt skkye light over the Nuvo 10 gallon all other corals or fine an healthy pic when I first got it been in tank for almost month now I dose once week with b-ionic 2 part dose runnier ghost desktop skimmer an chemi pure elite do water change every Sunday

Trachy's come in so many different colors, it looks pretty normal or non bleached to me. It sounds like you are doing all the right things and they are pretty tough corals.

 

[Bradley]

Yea it extended it feeder tentacles often an at night when lights or off

 

[meknudson2]

Hopefully someone else will chime in and give some of there experience with these, mine is pretty healthy without doing anything but change the water a couple times a month.
