    Would that mean that the bleaching isn't a problem...?

    I would say yes and no. If the corals only lighten in color but nothing else then OK, but if they retract then I would say you have a problem.

    They are lightening up so far, not retracting, so its time to move them into the shade, I'm going to call this one a light issue.

    Well I moved about 10 of my corals last night, added a few small pieces of LR to make a few overhangs and ledges for shade. Everything is open, we'll just see if stuff starts to color back up. Also decreased my lights by about 2 hours a day.
