got this sps frag (side quest: ID this stony (s)) 2 weeks ago it was doing ok but started bleaching, i made a rookie mistake by moving it closer to the sand bed to grow along the monti cap and tabling acro, because over night it got worse. i moved the frag on a lower mid level base rock with nothing on it, i hope it makes it.

so yeah whats happening to my frag?

Just give good flow, good light but dont shock it. Then just give it time. Did you dip it when you got it?
 
thanks dessertreef im watching him, his blotching has gone away but now it is bleaching on the tip it has good flow and lighting maybe too much light?
