Gold torch turning white

My gold torch is starting to turn white on one head. Is this a sign of not enough light? It's in the corner so not getting very high light. My other torch is fine and 3 frogspawns are fine too. Here;s a picture when lights are out.

One of my torches came bleached looking like that a almost 2 years ago, its color has only slightly returned, and I mean very slightly.

 

do you know what caused it? i know super high light can do that but mine is not in high light at all...

In my case I figured it was pissed off from shipping, it was a DD torch that just didn't look as well as the image when i received it but meh it is still alive. What kind of flow is on it mine seems to like relatively high flow for an lps?

 

It honestly looks like it is bleaching but if its not light I am not sure why it is pissed off.

What light are they under? Bulbs? How long has it been in the tank?

 

they are under LEDs and been in the tank for 2 months now? i think it's lack of light so I am gonna move it to a spot with more. The side that's white is the side that's under a ledge.

Bleached gold torch is definitely not getting enough light. It will recover though if given what it needs. This was one of my top must gets.. When I found a place that had one I got it (one large head) for $50.00. the purple coloration was there, not very bright but there. The gold coloration was non existent. It took mine about a month or so but it is now a very deep gold and purple.
