Anthelia problems

Hi all,
I have an anthelia coral that has been looking bad for the past couple weeks. I was wondering if anybody on here had any idea why this is happening. It's shriveled up and dark. I have 192W PC on a 46 that is 20 inches deep and it is about half way up. It is in a medium flow area. All other corals are doing fine, including a xenia.
My parameters are:
PH- 8-1
amm, trite- 0
trate- 10
kH- 7 dKH
calcium- 425
salinity- 1.026
temp.- 79-80
P.S. I will try to post a pic tomorrow when the lights come on.

I wish the pic was more clear :(
It might be the victim of chemical warfare from another nearby coral, or it might just be unhappy with its placement. You might just try moving it around a little as there seems to be no problems with your water. Anthelia is usually very hardy and incredibly fast growing so my guess is that there is something in your tank pissing it off.

Thanks for the reply sato. The closest corals to it are mushrooms. I have been trying different places but it just isn't happy. I will try to move it again either today or tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Travis
