I got this little peice of acro a while back, and after about 2 months, it browned out. I think... It should have green on it along with purple, if memory serves. Never got an id on it. It also had white on 2 of the branches. Now, as you can see, that white is spreading. I was thinking that I could cut it down just above the base, as it has PE, and the tip I could re mount on a plug. Or, should I just leave it? I did move it to more light, to see if that would help.

ALK: 7.8
Salinity: 1.025
Cal: 477
Nitrate: 10
No amonia or nitrites
Po4 is 0.03 if I am writing that correctly
3 Kessil tuna blue A360WE
Tope 2/3 of tank.

Yeah that doesn't look like a light issue to me either. If it was from shading, it would still have flesh. That frag is too small to suffer from shading yet.
 
I fragged it, and put it under more lighting. Idk what else to do. I guess I'll see if that works. Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate it a lot!
 
Has your alk been stable, that will happen with swings
it started high...like 11...slowly drifted to 7....ish. I cannot keep it stable, but i do check it every day, and adjust as needed
