It took me awhile to find the sweet spot for my Sour Apple birds nest. Once I did though, it colored back up again beautifully! If you haven't already, try placing it down low for a month or so. If it starts to color up again, slowly move it higher, or leave it on a plug on the sand bed. I've seen some impressive stylophora colonies growing towards the bottom.

Thanks guys for the quick replies! Kudos! What I've done just now is turn my lights down. Whites @20% max and blues @30% max.
All my corals are LPS plus the 1 Birds Nest. So lowering the light intensity shouldn't bother them much. Seemed a better option then having to move the BN, seeing as it's epoxied to the rock Should this help? Getting the hang of these LEDs is proving to be a challenge.

I'm using the RR light also. I've kept my schedule the same when I acclimated my coral but I just put my light way up on the hardware to like 2' above the tank than moved it down for 3 weeks slowly. Idk

Unfortunately I cannot raise mine. So I'm left lowering the intensity. Kind of a pain but at least I now have the option These lights are strong!
