IMO I don't think that's bleached. I have a frogspawn like that too but I'm also new to the hobby lol

Help us out. Pics or video under whites. Full blues distort the colors on everything.

Slightly bleached. Good idea on shading it. It should color up quickly. It's not too bad.

Coop. Thanks , I appreciate it.

Any suggestions on how to spot feed ? I'm trynna feed brine but it floats away even with pumps off lol

perhaps mysis would be better. let it settle to the bottom of the baster and it should float down on it's own.

You can also cut a water bottle and surround the coral and drop food on it.

Looks pretty god. They get their coloration from zooxanthellae generated from light. Your lights are likely too dim or too bright and feed it mysis shrimp. Tweak lights accordingly.

I never (target feed) my frogspawns. Sure they may catch fish food floating by but Frogspawns like most euphelia just need light and good water quality.

Finding the sweet spot for proper lighting intensity is key. Watch the frogspawn and if it stays opened from morning till lights out, the lighting is good. If it closes up before lights out it may need more acclimation time, lower lighting or less photo period.

Best to start lower lighting and work your way up slowly.
They will acclimate to any lighting intensity.

My Frogspawns used to grow like weeds under MH lighting, and placed at the top.

The key is not to burn the frogspawn with too strong light as it adjusts/adapts.
