Montipora colour changing

[ItzB]

Hi

I bought 2 montipora frags from the lfs, when I bought them the owner told me to place them high up in my tank as they need high light, I’ve literally had them for 2 days and the edges seem to be turning really pale compared to the rest of the coral, I’m not really sure what’s happening, I get my water tested at the shop and he didn’t mention anything wrong with my sample?

Please help

Even high light corals need to be acclimated to the new tanks lighting. I start all frags down low.

Got any pics?

Thanks for the reply,

I don’t see anything alarming from the photos. Just keep an eye on them. Montipora are generally pretty forgiving.
