Some SPS corals can suffer at high alkalinity and low nutrients. "Burnt tips" is a common description.

One good hypothesis is that the coral skeleton grows faster than the tissue can keep up, resulting in thin and easily damaged tissue at the growing tips.

That would make sense then.

You're welcome.

Happy Reefing.
