It does appear to just be the skeleton that bleached. I lost one head, but all the others are still good and fleshy and appear to be stable (no critters). No urchins in the tank. I moved it to my daughters 29 with stock flourescent lights for now and will target feed it for a while. It really seems to be the only thing in the tank that was affected. I don't think it was lighting, no changes and they were at the bottom under the 20ks. Something did spike in the tank enough to have me fighting with about 5 ppm of nitrate.
