I had some of my green ones do this a while back. I siphoned them off, but some of their base was left. After a few weeks, they started growing back again. I have no idea why they did it as I had no tank changes, but there are a lot more of them after they came back.

Pat, my colony of those did the same thing to me after about a year. I had a nice big vibrant colony and they melted away like yours are doing now.

pat try fragging them since they are a close to a goner anyways , splt the colony up and give out a small frag to someone or put it in another tank yourself maybe the mandarin tank if anything you may be able to get a frag back .just a thought

Really lost at what you are saying Patrick.
What is the relationship between stability and algae?
