Bird of Paradise bleaching?

[KhanhQ83]

Hello reefers. Is my bird of paradise coral bleaching? The tips are white and the white areas are pretty big. Initially, I thought it was growth but now I think it's more of bleaching, can anybody help me confirm this? I have it sitting in the middle of the tank with high flow. Why would it be bleaching? Please shed some light on this. Thanks

Its not bleaching. Mine has always been like that in higher light and it grows like crazy. Lower light will make them fade to normal but slow growth.

Unless you show some white areas other than the tips , it looks like it's having a good time to me .

Thanks for the inputs. I read some other threads and people think it's bleaching for some reason. I guess I'll observe it closely and see what happens.

That a great looking coral! Are those hard to keep? I have a greens birds nest that's has done very well in my tank. Are these hard to find?
