Re: Bleaching

Sorry to hear that. Mine is too. Mine seems to have stopped right now since I have tried to shade it from the lighting.

How long have you had yours? Any bulb changes or upgrades recently (last few months)?

Re: Bleaching

had mine for about month. I also purchased a metallic green open brain at the same time. the red brain was doing fine both eating when feed. But all of a sudden the Red brain stated to lose it's color. I have both on my substrate and under a 70w MH 14K. Oh my metallic green is doing great and has quadrulped in sze!!!! There bleaching brain is completly white with little to no color at all. Is it safe to say I let the reefing community down by letting this happen

Re: Bleaching

No, you have not let anyone down. Bleaching happens sometimes. What type of lighting was the red brain under before you purchased it? How deep is your tank? Where is your red brain located in your tank (high or low)?
