    I bought a Stylo a few weeks ago and possibly moved it up too soon. The result is that it bleached out. Polyps are still coming out, but no color in the coral. It's been like that for a couple weeks.

    I'm debating as to whether I should let it acclimate to the light or move it to a lower light area to get back into shape.

    Any suggestions?

    I would move it down and let it recolor up then carefully move it back up. Also check your parameters to see that they are not out of whack.

    It may also be an individual that likes a little less light and may be happy down lower.
