    While they sometimes show color changes or some bleaching under too much light, I have had ones do poorly when positioned too far up directly under the lighting.

    As long as parameters are all good with temp 78-80 degrees, and SG is 1.023-1.026, I would move it down if possible or under less direct light.

    Usually when mine had lighting issues they eventually detached.

    Good Luck.
