Too strong light? this hapened to mine and I only saved it by putting it in the shade. They don,t seem to like strong light at all.

how is the lighting?

Mike,
Pm me your # so we can talk and find the best solution before you lose everything. What you have is not caused from lighting or to much flow.It's a coral disease,and a very nasty one at that.

Are you feeding them anything? I would try to feed it some acan plus, I found that heavy feeding usually bring them back to life. I have had few heads die on me, coincidentally it was around the same time I changed my carbon over from seachem to brs's rox inconjunction with rowaphos. I believe the change in nutrience really ****ed it off. Good luck dude. let us know how it turns out.

Interesting. I recently switched to ROX as well. Maybe that's what ****ed mine off as well.
