whats happening to my Favia

[KevinK]

I have this one for 3 weeks now, and I feel something is eating it, ore something ells is happening to it.

gaps are faling in, and in the middle it is bevoming whit'isch

cant find real cretures in it

sugestions?

[christyf5]

Any fish picking at it? What do you have for lighting? Tank parameters?

[Borderjumper]

its looks to me like the back section hasnt been affected.. is that part shaded?

I suspect its getting burnt.

[KevinK]

the favia is located at 12 to 14 inch below the water, 4 inches of from the edge of the reflector (150W HQI)

exept my phosphate (0.07) everything is where it should be (0)
calcium at 430
KH at 8.5 to 9
magnesium at 1350
temp at 25.5 C

no fish that pick's

have a feeling and when locking close, it has som gaps in it, and did not had it before.

my other is still ok, at near the same location, only other side of tank

That would be my guess as well too much light.

Try moving it to a partially shaded location where it doesn't get any direct light until it heals.

It probably too much light. But it also might be stinging from a neighbouring LPS. Who are its neighbours?
