sps i think bleaching

[FAHADREEF]

i got this sps colony fron my lfs the day before yesterday at the store it had this rich bright green color and now its super light and the tips/braches are bleaching or dying is it because i might have fraged it.

This is my frag/coral tank not my display
any ideas?

 

[damsels are not mean]

probably bleaching due to light intensity is my guess

it's directly under the light should i put it lower ? in my experience sps love strong lighting

They do but "strong" can be anywhere from 200 to 700 PPFD easily depending on who you ask and what they're doing. Corals used to 200 can't instantly go to 700 no matter how much they love high light. they need time to adapt to new lights. I would try lowering it at first and slowly raising it to higher light levels.
