Pics of how I founds my sunset monti this morning. First pics are when the first set of t5's turned on ..... all the white areas are more visible. Next pic is after the halide kicked on - the smaller areas not so visible with the overall pe better - but shows the affect on the whole colony - see the two large patches of missing tissue on the left side. The large area on the right side that is dead was from a couple months back when I went on vacation and a powerhead got bumped and was blowing directly on that spot. It was normal looking yesterday ..... any ideas? There are two little white things that are a little bigger than a grain of rice and remind me a little of tapeworm segments ..... but they are not moving at all. Any ideas?

Parameters this morning are below and have been stable. Nothing new done to the tank - only thing done to it yesterday was my bi-weekly dose of bio digest & bioptim.

If you can, turn the colony over and look on the underside for monti eating nudibranches. It could be that, although it also could be that something fell onto the coral (chunks of salt creep come to mind) and burned it. My last guess would be an alk swing.
