Any suggestions. Water quality seems normal and regular water changes. I’ve had this frag in my aquarium for 3 years and doing fine until last week it started deteriorating. I’ve ordered some Koral MD and it should arrive soon for a dip. I’m looking for help to save this before it’s a total loss. All other corals seem to be just fine and healthy.

I would suggest a dip for bacteria infection such as iodine or that Kung fu blend.

Could you let us know your water parameters?

Also, that doesn’t look like fresh skeleton under there. How fast has it been receding?

The appearance of feeders are a good sign but tissue loss is likely due to possible (things to check):

Irritation from sand
Hunger (feed mysis shrimp 2-3X a week)
Elevated alk
Lack of moderate light and even flow
High phosphate levels
Low salinity

After testing the water I see how far water is outside the perimeters . So I am doing a major water change.
