Bleached corals?

[Username177013]

Hello everyone, I am a bit worried on whether my corals are bleached or the lighting is having an effect on the color? I would really appreciate the feedback. I've only been in this hobby for about 4 months.

Could you get a pic with whites on ? Are these coral new or did you have them and then they started to lose color ?

lights to bright, intensity to much

How would you recommend me changing them because I know a fast and drastic change in lights might do more harm than good.

No sir, rapid changes brighter causes harm. Not the other way. I just lowered my lights from 80% to 10% blue and 1 % whites and more corals are coloring up after 2 weeks. My tank is 30 inches deep and lights 12' over water. Everyone is happy now

Looks too bright with not enough nutrients.
Whats the Alk level?

Low nutrients and high Alk can cause problems, especially if there is too much lught.
