What would make a torch bleach in color?
All parameters are good except my phosphates are a little high. Been dosing nopox for that.

To strong of light not acclimated to it one way. Another way is an aggressive coral is near it. Where do you have the coral? What is the par reading if known?

Torch corals need 30-150 Par about anymore will be too much. If you're using LED rent a par meter it will help. Make a map of your tank par readings.

LED all different have different spectrums; etc. Par meter will help; rent one from bulkreefsupply or some other place. This only needs to be done once or anytime you change your lights. Make a map it will help for sure. If your LED or lights have an acclimation setting use this also for new corals.
