I had this happen to me last year. I did an icp texts and found elevated coper in my tank. I don’t use coper. It turns out it was from some equipment that broke and corroded. I did many water changes and ran cupresorbe. It did the trick and my scoly came back better then before.

You will need to watch this as this can turn into a infection area. Which you may need to treat with LEGO’s Iodine treatment.

ill start target feeding it more, but it should be fine? Im really confused what could have caused it. I can do a lugols dip

I bought one and it came in worse than this. I’m following this post & going to try Coral Revive.

I bought it a few months ago was very healthy, it is extending very big sweepers at night

Dont overfeed it.
Can be simple irritation from sandbed or a sting ( is there another coral within 3" of it) ?

No there was a lot of cyano a few weeks ago. I think there might have been an aptasia or There are these like tube building worms underneath it. That build sand into a tube. Hard to explain. Its only partly showing right now

These corals are found on reef walls not in the sand. Many times fish get into a moving sand on the coral and they do not like it.

Can move it onto a flat rock, sometimes sand does get onto it, i can even see the skeleton anymore today. I just went to check on it, and an aptasia detached and was sitting in its mouth was not happy, I plan on raising it up a bit in a low par area.

The coral revive worked really well for me! If it starts looking a bit more rough, I highly advise you give it a shot :)

Also be sure to test your water parameters and make sure everything looks good.

Id like to give a quick update, the scoly is doing very well. Aprently it was under too much light, and the cyano was bothering it. So i moved it. And dosed chemiclean. Getting full extension again. Thanks to everyone who helped. I blew off the sand from a wc.
