You could try giving it a short 5-min treatment with Reef Primer.

Is that all one elegance? The right section is showing some major tissue recession and the left looks pale to me. What are your phosphates? Have you been feeding them? Mine are hungry little monsters.

Yes, it is one coral. PO4 is at 0.08. For feeding i only add live phyto and ab+ a couple times per week. I tried mysis shrimp once, no reaction/not interested.

I mix some calanus in with my regular fish feedings. The smaller fish and corals really seem to like it.

I would try feeding it again. Try during the day and if that doesn't work during the night. It almost looks like the tissue on the right has separated from the left. How does the tissue on the rest of the healthy part look? Is the tissue nice and full all around the edge or has it receded down into the skeleton also? There should be a little tissue around the outside all around the top edge.

I would keep an eye on that part that is not doing well. It may bail out or it may die off. If it dies off it could cause an infection in the remaining healthy part.
