Is that side being shaded? Also what are your parameters? We need more info about your system before anyone can diagnose anything

Kinda looks like lighter coloring from new growth, is the flesh missing or just colored different. A little clearer pic would help a lot to make sure.

There! That might be better

Try getting them more light. Also Ca is kinda high, but probably isn't the issue

Calcium combines with low alk could be a problem...also, what lighting are you using

This is tissue necrosis, not bleaching.

What could be the cause of this? My other acro is doing fine currently

Pdash · Jan 22, 2020

Stress of some kind. Water chemistry could be off, pests, not enough or too much light/flow/nutrition, some kind of environmental contaminate. You would need to provide more information, and then maybe someone here could help. Sorry you're having trouble.

Do you get ICP tests. One may be in order to help solve this

Kayvon · Jan 22, 2020

I know that in the past I had necrosis start on the tip and spill down one side of my acro. It was described as "icicling". It was because of an excess amount of Tin or other heavy metal.
