Just in the past few days I noticed a decline in its overall health, and am not totally sure why, but wondering if maybe it could be to much light, I have it dead center just about half way up in my 29? Everything including my Duncan frogspawn candy cane and even zoas love the light and I'm beyond myself right now

What kind of lights are you running? Also, do you know what kind of favia it is? Could be too much light, but hard to tell without knowing what you are running.
 
I have a 120 watt dimmable dimmed down to it lowest light
 
Notice the top left area,its loosing color in that dime sized area, doesn't make sense to me because it seems to be expanding. Maybe I should put into a shaded area and see how it does?

I keep my favia down at the bottom of my tank and run T5's. Try moving it back down and see how it reacts. I have a certain favia that only does well in the shade even.
 
Sounds like a plan
