bleaching?

[kskvarci]

is this beginning to bleach? All params are good. Maybe there was som type of spike while i was on vac last week...

Where, at the tips?

If so, then no, not bleaching. IME, that's a sign of good growth.

was this a green digitata?

 

[NateHanson]

If that's a yellow porites then it's probably a good thing.

If it was a green digitata, then you might have a problem

 

[kskvarci]

Its an orange Digitata. I thought it was just due to growth. Hopefully thats the case.

 

[jacko]

yeah, I had a purple digitata that looked like this.

Yours has good polyp extension, but you are right, it has lost color. I dunno why, or what do to about it, but mine had a hard time getting better. I think it was an issue with Ca / Alk. Maintain your levels, and it will likely get better, eventually.

Looks to me like carbonate growth and lighter polyp color (new polyps) as seen with healthy growth rates. *shrugging* Most of my corals look like this during growth spurts.

If it is bleaching, would not the bleaching grow (rapidly) away from the area where it was firsts potted?
