Bullseye not looking good


I've had this bullseye for about a year and it was doing great. Now it is looking bleached. I have since moved it as far down as I could. Any other suggestions. Should I move it under the rocks and out of the light completely? I've had it moved to this position for about a week and its not looking much better. Before that it was about halfway up in the tank under power compacts. Could it be something other than too much light. Do you think it will recover?

Changed the bulbs in Dec and it has been going downhill since. I should have moved it sooner. Do you think it will recover? should I shade it even more

I would shade it and see what happens. It may have been shocked by the lighting change. I am really surprised that it is still holding onto that rock. I would have expected it to let go of the rock and try floating around in hoes of finding a better place to attach.

Good luck with it.
