What are your parameters? It usually does good in high light. How long have you had the coral? What type of flow is it in?
Ive had really weird experiences with this coral, it will florish for months then start to die off so I frag it and the new frags will florish for months and then die off. Ive been putting the frags in different spots to see if that makes a difference. It hasnt been long enough to tell but the pieces in low to moderate flow seem to do really well. ------------- |

All of your parameters will help us. Can you send a pic and a pic of your setup as well ------------- 150 gallon Reef Millcreek Utah |

I just got some awesome FREE frags of this (thanks pilot_172) that are white on the bottom, and bright green on top.
I assumed that the white was new growth, maybe I should frag the bottoms and move them around... Good to know it likes low to moderate flow in your tank.  Mine is up high and in moderate to high flow.

Is that white flesh or white skeleton? Was it originally all green and then started going white from the bottom up? To be of more help we really need to see a pic of the coral and of the entire tank. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
