Rainbow Clove Moving and dying?

[Piscean_Introvert]

Hi all,

newbie to the hobby, rainbow clove came on one frag and starting moving to the rock, but it seems to be dying in the places where it once grew. The pic with all the green on the rock is where I first got it 4 months ago.

Nitrite? What is your flow? You could dose a little iodine and see if they improve. Do you feed them?

Sorry Nitrite was 0 too, they get reef chili and spirulina target fed once a week and tank fed once a week.

Flow is low/medium
