Help! Frogspawn sick or dying.

I have 3 Frogspawns in my 55 Reef; a brown, a bright green and a light green. I've had the bright green Frogspawn the longest, but it appears to be dying back, with several branches that are completly dead. My other two Frogspawns are doing great, showing new growth, etc, so I don't think the cause is bad water conditions. What can I do to save this Frogspawn before it dies off completly? I currently add Turbo Calcium, Phyto Plankton, Essential Elements, Coral Accel, Coral Vite, Iodine, Iron, and some other supplements that have slipped my mind (or that I can't spell correctly). Any advise would be appreciated.

I like your last line.....Don't make me get up...
Shouldn't it read "don't make me get out of my nice warm police car....?"
:D :D :D :D

If the other 2 are fine, and all chemistry is WNL, then I would think about sweeper tenticles from other corals. What other corals are in your tank? Anything in 6-8 inch range of the dying frowspawn?
See, I have some nice purple tonga mushrooms, than are just spreading like wildfire. One has migrated to about 2 inches out of the normal, daytime range of a pink frogspawn, which is about 6 inches from the tip of the shroom to the frogspawn branch.
But, the frogspawn puts everything he has into reaching out and burning that one mushroom. The mushroom is moving away now, hes now a good 8 inches away. But, that was a long stretch for the frogspawn.

Thanks for the reply. I checked, and I don't have corals within reach of this frogspawn. Two of the four branches are dead, and of the two branches that are still alive, the "arms" only come out, maybe an eighth of an inch. The dying frogspawn is a really cool color too, and I'd like to save it!! It's a bright green. And thanks for the advise Mal. I think I'll change my closing statements..... :p
