Its starting 2 stress me out! is anybody else having or had the same problem wit this coral?

these corals are very hard to keep. they dont live long in captivity.
same difficulty as a goniopora aka flower pot coral, idk if you have any experience with those.

They need high calcium levels. Try spot feeding cyclopeeze or another zooplankton if you aren't already. What kind of lights do you have?

The tank is a oceanic bio cube so all the lights are built in.blues,whites,and moon.
