Hi everyone I’ve had this issue before and could never find the cause. All other sps have polyps out and are growing but I occasionally have this issue. What would cause this die off on the edges?
I feed frozen 1x and pellets 3x a day. I don’t skim but run a skimmer and occasionally dose aminos.

I'd check with a local reef club to see if you can get your hands on a par meter. Get a good map of your tank and adjust your lights as needed.
FYI, I have a light-colored acro in my tank (Northern Lights Tenuis) in about 230 par.

Yeah that’s most likely what it is. Thanks for the replies.
