hmmm maybe. Would this cause the tissue to go from green/pink one day to pure white from the bottom of the coral to the top of some branches in 1 day though? I was cutting off entire dead branches of the coral that were totally healthy the day before. I've never seen anything like it. I'm googling and finding people talking about Rapid Tissue N somethingorother but no one really seems to really understand whats happening. I'm reading alk, I'm reading temp, I'm reading light...lol
So ya, like everything else in reef keeping its a mystery. I'll have to test the heck out of everything tonight.

That is my experience with large SPS coral. They reach a maximum size after 3-5 years and then the lower branches no longer receive enough light and flow so they die from the bottom up. At this point I usually haul the entire coral out, break it up, start it over again from a large frag and sell off the rest.
