Nephthea Help

[lemon drop]

We have a green nephthea that has been closed up for a few days. When we looked at it this morning it seems to have black rot or scum all over it and some of the arms have turned black. Does anyone know what this may be and how we can fix it.

The Green Nepthea is a very rare coral so its a sure bet that if you dont have MH lighting its not goin to do well and if you do it doesnt sound promising (sorry to sound negative)...whats your water paramters look like? Have any of your other corals been showing signs like these? Ive wanted one of these corals for awhile now and heard that since they come from the solomon islands they are pretty much off limits now since they stopped exporting corals from there.... :notsure:
