Forest fire coral turning white

[BilboLaggins]

So this tank is a 10 gallon half set up and Ik its fairly undeveloped and needs time to settle in but my forest fire coral was added a month ago and was a slight brown and orange looking amazing as time went on it started to turn really white none of the polyps jumped ship and it starting to turn back to brown but will the white spit die completely or will it come back 2?

The white is the part on the hump not the longer tree looking part.

@Reefer Matt u have any ideas?

How old is the tank? SPS corals require a well established stable tank environment.

Do you test? What are your parameters? Also, do you know what kind of par it is getting?

As long as there isn't any algae growing on it, it may come back. Once you see algae growing on it, then that flesh is dead.

No algae tho just a small amount of white that to me was concerning enough lol

They are pretty hardy/tough in my opinion. so just give it stable parameters, good light and flow and it should eventually adapt and take off. Once mine settled it, it took off pretty fast.

Your rocks are completely white. The tank seems new?

It's 7 months old no fish just snails and blue leg hermits

Also there was a crap ton of algae and brown algae on the rocks and sand below but added snails and crabs and they seem to have picked most of it off. Would u like a full tank shot while I am home?

That is insane growth for 9 months. What PAR do you have that at? I have a small blue digi frag and it has barely grown at all in 4-5 months.

In the last picture you send, Is that your normal light setting?
