			 I bought this green open brain coral like a year ago or so.  It had a small damaged spot when I got it that I hoped would heal up.  Well, it stayed the same for many months, but now in the last month or two has been getting bigger.  And I noticed that lately my sexy shrimp has been sitting and picking at the dead/dying edge of it.  Is there anything I can do to reverse this or at least stop it?  I only have it under pc lighting, but my candycane coral has been doing fine under this, quadrupled in size in the last year.  I don't do any supplementation except for a bit of liquid calcium supplement and regular water changes.

			 Is there nothing I can do to help this coral regrow over the damaged area?  My other lps and sps are doing fine in this tank, and growing.
