Exclamation Ricordea Yuma losing color - turning white ? Why

I bought this Yuma about 3 weeks ago ago, it seemed fine for the first week, latley I have noiticed that it is turning white in the middle, losing its purpleness. I hope this is a temporary thing but this is my first Yuma. I've heard of Corals expelling their zoanthelle, hope that isnt the case here. It's also a little scrunched up. this is the most recent pic I have, its even alittle worse than this now.

Can it be getting too much light from 48 watts of pc lighting? Seems to be bleaching.
My other mushrooms are doing well. I dont really have any shady spots in my tank to move it too. I am target feeding occasionally, but not more than once a week.

Apperciate any input from those with experience with this type of coral.
