I have a coral that for the last month has looked great and about a week ago one of the green tips started to almost look like it was glowing green and now it's turning white. Not sure what's going on with it, any help would be appreciated!

What other corals do you have besides the fungia in the lower left?

There's an orange plate coral by it but I just moved it there last night so up until then the fungus had nothing around it.
Oh ok. I was gonna say, if any other coral were present in tank, maybe one of those would look "off" and we could better ID this issue. My trumpet coral has withstood some parameter changes. More so on the dissolved organic side. When it came to looking retracted, too much flow was always the reason.

All other corals look great, this is the only one that seems to be having an issue.
And there isn't so much flow you see the tissue wrinkling on one side with the skeleton poking?

So I need to have more water flow on it?
I don't know. I was saying IF you have too much flow, you might need to reduce flow. I was suggesting that wrinkled tissue on the coral would be because of too much flow. If that isn't the case, then your flow is fine and shouldn't be adjusted.

No worries. I apologize too if my communication is sub par.
