Durning the summer the temperature has been stable around 80-82 rarely reaching 84. Can anyone think of any other possible causes? It looks like some of the tips or bulbs of the coral have either fallen off or been ripped off (emerald crab?) because i can see little orange spots on the rock beside the coral itself. any ideas appreciated, this was one of my favorites :\

if you see orange spots then it is definitely some sort of a pest
