Not sure if you can see it clearly in the picture. I have a ORA Yellow Porite for the last 2 weeks. Has been looking good, but today I noticed it is shedding its skin, now showing a white underside. Polyps still look to be out from the now white body. Is this dying, or natural behavior?

That sounds like RTN to me. What are your parameters? What do you dose and what do you use to dose?

porites can develop a film all over their branches, then shed and look like new again.

but if youre seeing white underneath, that could be a problem. They do well in high flow and high light.

I think it mush have been the skin shedding. Looks good now.
