How long is a while?
10-12" is way too close a 250 watter IMO. Id go for at least 18-20. Try putting it in a low-medium flow area down low in the tank, feed it at least once a week since it sounds like it's bleaching. Skip the brine shrimp and feed it high nutrient stuff, like small bits of krill and mysid or cylcopeeze, feeding the tank rotifers does wonders as well.
