I need help please.

I recently acquired a chalice and it seems to be bleaching around the edges. All my other chalices are doing quite fine and are very happy. I am worried about this one in particular because I acquired it at a very high price. I moved it into the back of the tank with much lower light and lower flow.

Please any information will help in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Dip it in a iodine solution for a few minutes and place it back in the low flow and low light...

Barry, can you provide a pic?? I would be very careful with Iodine. Do not use a lot and do not leave it in the dip for too long. From my experiences, iodine can be a very harsh dip for chalices and if dipped for too long or too strong of a solution, can do more damage then good, in fact I would avoid it for now. Keeping it in low light and flow is perfect, if you can feed it that would help tremendously. Shoot me a pm if you want to discuss further...
