I have a hynophora that was fraged recently. The areas that were cut are turning brown. Is this normal or should I try to move it to give it more light, more flow. it is currently mid level in my tank with par of 110. Calcium is 550 hardness is 11dkh phosphate is 0, no2 and 3 are o. Salinity is 1.025 temp is 78
Tank is 6 months old 90g with a protine skimmer in the 30g sump. I have 140 labs lf live rock and a 4" sand bed. All other corals are doing fine In the tank.

It's an LPS coral so it could have brown jelly take it out and see if it smells bad.

The skin of the coral will over grow where a cutting has been made. If you could take a picture.
