open brain problems

[spike]

My brain ( the one in the reef tank) is loosing its color, bleaching out. All of my tests reflect great water quality. I run T-5's, and the brain is sitting on the sand bed. I thought it was getting too much light, so I slid it a little under a rock ledge. It seems to be no better. Everything else in my tank is looking great. Anybody have any ideas?

If it was shock from the light, it may still be reacting, even though you moved it already. I'd just sit it out in the shade and let it re-adjust, then slowly move it out once it's doing better. They're pretty hardy ususally.

6 bulb fixture 54 watt each, mix of 10000 K and actinic, tank is 20" deep. Were under MH at LFS. Have been feeding at night, not often once or twice a week.
