If an acropora losses it's color due to too much light, how long does it take to recover? I switched to leds and believ that may be the cause of my pale corals. How much should I decrease the light percentage to stop the damage? BTW are corals are encrusting nicely and have good polyp extension. Color is gone on the side exposed to the light.
 
Hmmm, it all depends.
Led's are known for that if set to bright.

Any pictures?
 
there are a lot of different variables that effect how long it will take. what leds are you using? what current intensity? how far off the surface and what dimensions are the tank
