Have had this play for several years. Within months of aquiring it shrunk up and went pure white. I left it in the tank and within the last month several polyps are coming back with color and returning to normal size. Anyone seen this before and have any explanation? Before you ask, no change in parameters or lighting. Everything has been the same.

Agree with coral bleaching, just seems strange that they lived for two years and now decide to get Zooxanthellae back and why?

Not that strange that they would live for years without color. Try killing them. It's not that easy. I've pulled live rock out of bins that have no light, just circulation and those things are thriving. Some white, some brown.
