most commen reason for this is condensation on the tube that when it fired up became a hot spot,
its not very common from what i have seen, if there is no shield then there is a good chance a tiny speck of water either from a bubble poping or a fish caused it. |

Ah well, I guess it happens. I have to get the bulb replaced on warranty from corallife, not j&l.
.. Plus side is I bought a Giesemann 14.5K as a replacement and was given a little bit of a deal on it Have to wait until friday for deliveryI'll still get the corallife bulb warrantied, and keep it as a spare/backup
