Brain coral bleaching

Around 2 months ago my brain coral started bleaching because i think i was to lazy to feed it. I am now alert of this issue and have started feeding i daily. My question is will it be able to recover or slowly but surely die?

IF it is because you haven't been feeding it then yes. I had a coral that was bleached when I got it from a store I used to go to. It literally only had a couple square inches of red left on it, but after a couple months of being fed it was nice and nearly completely red again. Then my tank crashed because we moved and I lost it when I had to take it back to their store for a few weeks >.<

lack of feeding it should not cause it to bleach out in the first place. it is photosynthetic and does not require spot feedings but it does help premote growth. What have you changed in the past two months, or added for that matter? Spot feeding it will help it boost back though. Make sure your water quality is in tip top shape as well as that will also help with it's recovery
