    +1 the feeders don't hold any zooxanthellae.

    To add to the other replies, you may see some color change if your bulbs were old and you replaced all of them at the same time. Other than that, I agree-- definitely not bleached.

    That is what seems weird to me ;D

    The coral it's self is very dark and healthy - just over the last two weeks the feeders (third photo second post) were also dark. Now they are turning white - over the last week it has accelerated to 80% of the feeder tentacles

    Maybe I am just seeing a change - just not sure what or if it effects the health
