I was recently given a brown frogspawn from a lfs as a freebie with my purchases. It has 7 heads of the branching variety. 3 of the heads are fine and they are expanding. The other 3 heads has signs of white bleaching, and is not expanding fully, and 1 head is totally dead. The frogspawn was under 1 NO light when it was in the LFS, mine tank right now has 2 250W Iwasakis and 2 Actinics.
Will the frogspawn recover or is it a losing cause?
Trying my best to save this guy, what advice ?

I would place it in a dim portion of your tank, preferably under an overhang or something. LFSs are notorious for inadequate lighting. The corals get used to insufficient light and bleach out when placed in tanks with real lighting.

Good luck comrade

Mine bleached when I changed my lighting from 175's to 250's. one polyp died and turned into a whole bunch of little polyps, and the rest eventually recovered. Good luck
