My method - Proper light acclimatising and Tropic Marine Pro Coral Iodine dosing.

I dont do additional feeding only MH lights and water nutrients. But I believe small amount of feeding once a week will help.

If the prata is bleach and not opening well after a week, try shifting it to a new location............learn this from my wife...............could be due to many reasons like PAR/FLOW/Harressment from other corals..............etc.

ensure gd water parameters for bleached coral to recover...

Ohh...

I just shfted mine to a low flow area too. Looks better now at least the 'mantle' is more puffy.

But its mouth is still open. Tried to feed but the pieces of shrimp kinda drop out of the mouth. It didnt show any reaction towards it.

hey travy, i realized that high temp also causes coral bleached. so, beside water parameter and lighting, do watch out for temp. normal temp for any coral range from 26-28 deg celcius.

u wanna nurse my green prata back to it health
