Here are the 2 colonies which were fragged for the swap. I'd recommend med mh lighting and med-high flow w/ lots of zooplankton feeding.

my frag also is a little bleached. i have it way low in my tank. i love the colors and hope it gets better.
Is this the pink eye montastrea. If so mine also is bleached about halfway, but all the eyes are still pink
mine is almost completely bleached.

Oh boy, group rescue!!!
TLC is all it needs
Yep. One of the colonies was pale on one side. Looked like it would be ok. Hope you guys are up to the challenge 
These things produced the most amazingly thick slime when fragged, and a ton of it! Had to be careful packing them up because I was concerned about them sliming in the containers and growing a bunch of bacteria soup by the time people got the frags home.
mine is almost completly white but still has tissue and light pink eye's. i moved it to a low flow low light area in hopes of bringing it back. it is a very beautiful coral and hope it pulls through.
Mine is starting to get a little tan hue to it, bouncing back for sure. FWIW, it sits 14" below a 70w 14k halide the tank runs about 78 degrees, I also thought I saw it eat a little last night (roti-feast). Should be pretty easy to turn the little guys around.
My frag looked a little bleached, so I have it on the bottom of my 10g QT tank under 70w 14k halide. It receives moderate indirect flow from a small powerhead, and the skimmer. I am aware of this being a Caribbean species, do I need to keep the tank a little cooler ~76-78 instead of ~78-80 to help with recovery? Hopefully tonight it'll open up to feed so I can chuck some grits at it.
I'm smarter than some things, but maybe not this thing here because it has a battery" -Ricky
