not really sure what you are talking about but you should Light acclimate corals. especially ones that were shipped to you in a dark cardboard box.
this is done by starting the coral low in the tank and then daily upgrading the elevation, or temporarily sortening the light cycles.

Believe it or not excess oxygen can bleach corals. Corals can control the amount of zooxanthellae in their tissue to regulate sugar (food) and Oxygen. If you have a coral that is used to medium lighting and you place it under intense lighting it doesn't have time to slowly adjust the zooxanthellae population and it must purge it's tissue of zooxanthellae or it will die from the excess oxygen. The result is a bleached coral.
When you slowly acclimate a coral to more light it will have time to adjust the zooxanthellae population as the light increases.

That is what happened to my toadstool then!!!
I was wondering what the heck happened cuz everything else in the tank was fine :notsure:
My toadstool was kinda lower in the tank than I wanted cuz I rearranged the LR and had to keep him there for a week until I got more LR and could move him back up higher in the tank.
When I did move him up it lost all it's coloring and looked really bad
I didnt know what happeded
It looks much much better now, and now I know in the future to not do that!!
Thank You,
Every day I learn something new that is very important to the survival of my tank

Royal, I'm under the impression that you're about an inch away from an @$$ kicking by the people here that are trying to HELP you. A little respect given will pay big dividends. I base my observation on this and your previous posts.

I reckon I'm just getting tired of the juvenile and disrespectful behavior. Maybe it's unintentional. Examples from his posts below:
"add a fish every 2 weeks geesh"
"they sting fish and kill corals hilarious rotfl laughing: laughing: laughing: "
"sshhhhh!! thanks for answer all"
"2 questions... answer them NOW!!!...please
"
"post pics of it..any i dun care!! :hilarious"
"As I've already stated Royal, this is a community forum. People post here wanting advice and help, not to give out their email addresses. Please quit harassing posters by begging them to... " (moderator)
"im sorry to burst your orange bubble (LOL
)"
"uhh..ok
i would change those sides of thew aquarium because it looks all plain white lol and what's with the orange wall
"
"OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"give me your e-mail adress NOW!!!!"
"uhh..are you chinese?"
"did u edit or not?"
"ur avatar is weird"
"LOL, no it's not ok to do wtf??"
"you need some more color in there"
"this is a loada' crap"
"I NEED TO KNOW THE NAME"
