:happyfish Hi, it sounds like it's possibly getting bleached by too much light. I have one, and I have power compacts, and not metal halides. It may also be its beneficial plankton that lives on it is dying and that also cause bleaching affect. If you have metal halides I would recommend lowering it in the water column, and feed it live dt, daily directly with a syringe, and pour a cap of iodine on it 2 times a week. That would be my advice for ya. However, sometimes when a coral wants to die it dies. Especially when its an older coral that you've had for years. Hope I was of some help. Just remember your not alone on coral death. Unfortuanately it hapens to every reefkeeper. :happyfish :happyfish
