Hello, guys! My name is Hakim from Indonesia. I have been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for about 3 months, and I love it! I this is the first time I have joined the REEF2REEF community because I believe this forum is full of wonderful people who would take joy in helping each other improve their saltwater aquarium, since I don't have any close people who has experience with the saltwater aquarium hobby and the nearest LFS isn't very good (corals and fish are not really healthy). So, I hope this forum can be the place for me to get advice from more experienced reefers. Thank you guys for helping me!

Tank info:
Size: 10 gallon (going to upgrade soon)

Still a work in progress, I hope you guys can help!
 
Does any of you guys think this is a healthy plate coral? I know its got some bleached areas, but its usually likes to spread its skin a little bit out of the skeleton like its "chilling" (ya know, relaxing), is this a good sign? I've also rescaped the rockwork a little bit, and for the past couple of days it has not entered its "chilling" phase. Is this a bad sign? Also, how may i heal the bleached part?
