I've had Seriatopora, for over a year and they have been doing quite well. I've fragged it a few times for other tanks. Now, all of a sudden it is showing signs of tissue loss, see pic. No other coral in the tank seems upset and a nearby frag of the same colony is doing fine. Of course, I've added my BRS carbon and am accelerating my water changes 30% last weekend, 30% this weekend, etc.

salinity = 35
mg = 1500
alk = 8.3
calc = 400

So, the questions is:

Would it be a good strategy to frag the colony and save what I can? or am I better off just leaving it alone and hoping for the best?

Thanks in advance.

I'd frag some and let the rest alone.
