This morning I noticed small black dots all over the tips of my kenya tree coral. It was fine last night. All my water parameters are in the normal range. 20% water change done last Wednesday. I have had this guy 3 months and no problems till today.. Thoughts? Suggestions?

It's fine if water chemistry is fine. Soft coral expands and deflate during water exchange. Of note is that sometimes you see the development of spots when a coral is going to broad cast spawn. Just check your basic chemistry and if the coral does not return to it's normal state within 24 hours then report back. :-) Make sure any nearby corals are not stinging this coral.

Possibly just balling it's polyps up getting ready to drop limb and spread. That's what mine looked like before it spread.
