So I just lost my first Millie, not sure what happened it was fast last week now it’s almost dead... all my acros seem with have polyp extension but that Millie died out of nowhere


My parameters are pretty stable

0.031 Phos
440-450 Calc
9.5 Alk
1350 Mag
Temp 77-78F
10 Nitrate.
XR15 Pro G5 AB+ setting. I recently switched to from the BRS recommended setting back to the EcoTech coral lab AB+zzz

Is it possible I’m blasting it with too much light?

I recently moved it down form the rock to the sandbed in hope it not stressing it

Have you ever dip it?
Millepora will hide the flaworm on their bodies, and it's really hard to find out in time, cuz of its hairy polyps and high density of skeleton structure.

Many people said that millepora should place at the high light of your tank, but mine is glued at the middle of my tank and still doing well now. Led lighting something times are too strong as you can imagine. So you can try to dip it and place it at the lower area like middle or some where let it adapt slow to your lighting.

Yeah I dipped it. Sadly I think it’s might be too late to do anything
