I have a hammer coral that the tips have turned fluoresent green, but the tenticles have bleached white. any clues? Have other hammers and frogspawns that I have look great. The hammers in question aren't receeding, just looking bleached on the tenticles.

Thanks, but they are on the bottom of the tank already.

Leds, Ai"s. but other types of hammers and frogspawns are doing great, as are all of my other coral(sps,lps,softies)There are three of this variety whose bodies have bleached(looking)but the heads are neon green. I guess I can't complain too much because they look really cool this way and are actually growing new heads.Thanks for the replys.

I have something similar....one frogspawn bleached but everything else is happy.
I am waiting it out to see if it comes back.
