Keep it in there till it grows algea on it. I had one that bleach out for 6 months then came back to life. Live tissue wont let algae grow on it eventhough it may be a dull color.

Ollie where do you live in Upstate? I am from NF, just a little misplaced. Good luck with your corals. I agree leave it there until algae takes over. The stress could definately change the color.

Hello,
Most SPS that are subject to high temperatures will RTN in 24 hours or less if they are going to die. If they survive (any thing other than tissue loss) they almost always recover fully in a month or less.

HTH,
Kevin
