I bought it from my friend. I’ve bought some coral from him in the past. It’s a acropora, not sure of the name exactly. It looked fine in his tank, I took it home and a couple days it started turning white from the bottom up. All my other sps/acros/corals are fine. Not sure what his water parameters are however I can give you mine.Tissue necrosis. A couple days is pretty quick. That frag is very freshly cut, as it's not encrusted at all.
It's hard to say why without some tank details. How old is the tank, parameters, light, flow, etc.

It can be like cancer. Once it starts as its due to a chemistry issue, it will continue until cause is identified. Some causes to check for are:Should I be concerned for my other corals?!?!
I don't think so, no.Should I be concerned for my other corals?!?!
If its conditions, yes before they too are affected. Corals . . . . Did you by chance add or have a leather coral? If so, at times, they will emit a toxin known as Terpenes which can cause this effect. Adding carbon often will alleviate this riskShould I be concerned for my other corals?!?!
