Quick Galaxea Question

Got a new frag. This isn't a photo of mine but mine looks very similar. In my stupidity I didn't realize that it wasn't fluorescing at the store. It's extending well, it's high in the tank, and loves the flow. Does the lack of color mean that it's "sick" or has lost its zoo algae? Everything else with it seems to be healthy, I just don't understand why it doesn't have color. TIA

It is likely bleached and needs time to recover. Don't overdo it with the light, keep params in check, and it should recover in time.

So I'm not wrong in your opinion. I thought maybe it was just a bland variety. It's in a BioCube 32 with LEDs so I'm imagining that even placed high I won't overdue it with the light. I got a Monti frag with some zoos and they've been thriving surprisingly at the top. Not a bad little tank.
