Bleached torch - can anything be done?

[Futuretotm]

Been in my tank 9 months, growing well, phosphates bottomed out and ticked her off.

I keep feeding it, lowered the lights, any other suggestions?

I can’t take it off the LR as it’s encrusted really well

I would feed it something such as reef energy and maybe vitachem. I would also consider phycopure zooxanthellae.


Lowering the lights won't do anything unless it bleached because of extreme lighting (or extreme changes).

Any updates on the torch?

Dead

likely reason; nutrient bottom out when I was in fallow due to velvet

double down and got more torches (left side)

Mine is bleached as well and for the same reason but it’s slowly coming back
