Can anyone tell me what to try? all my parameters are spot on. my other acans are fat like someone shot them up with botox so to me it's either a flow or lighting issue. thought the flow was tearing it then moved to a lower flow area and now its doing worse. it was an expensive frag so of course its not doing well....should i try dipping in revive or something?

a dip may help, it may make things worse

can you post a picture of it and where it is in your tank, and some more details? Anything happen before the sudden decline? Did you maybe damage it when you moved it, or place it in an area with too much light? Bacterial or fungal infections are generally the culprit, but they need an "open door" (like tissue damage)

I ended up losing it :( The only thing i can think of is it wasnt a fully mature polyp and the flow may have been too much and like you said could have caused some tissue damage which made it "sick". anyway I contacted the vender and told them the situation and they said they would throw a replacement frag in there if I ordered something else. seeing as it was a 75 dollar frag i said twist my arm. so heres what I got as a replacement at no charge :)
