    They can be picky. Where is the coral and how is the flow? Bleach acrid? Turbinaria are LPS.

    Yes you can bleach acros. You probably should move it down lower and acclimate it to your lighting. Start out at the bottom and slowly work it up over a couple of weeks. I keep my pogoda on the sand and my scroll on top.

    You can bleach acros, but a tubinaria is not an acro.
