I made a mistake around Thanksgiving of last year with my main display and allowed my specific gravity to go up to 1.029 for about 3 days. Thanks to a miscalibrated refractometer, I lost a couple of Acropora frags and had 2 brown out.
Fortunately, the 2 that browned are in full recovery mode and started to color back up. I wanted to show a few pics of that progress.

Interestingly, my Walt Disney and Garf Bonsai didn’t lose as much color and rebounded very quickly. I normally run my tank at 1.025 and took it down very gradually to avoid shocking the system.
All in all, a good lesson on not giving up on a frag that browns out. I’ll update this thread once they get back to full color.
