You don't really need to spot feed a colt coral and it doesn't really need supplements. Did you replace the bad light? What kind of lights are these? Dual daylight sounds like normal output lighting to me. If that's the case you really need to upgrade to power compacts or better.

Are you testing your calcium level? If so, what is it at? What are your other water parameters?

i say leave it and see how it does.. i lost a halide due to a ballast problem for 2 or 3 days, but the other still spreads some light on that side, so i had minimal brownage.. actually, the only thing that went brown was the polyps on my purple gorgonian..

I'm still not clear on what kind of lights these actually are. If you can give the size and wattages of the bulbs that will probably help.
