I have one frag that the skin looks really thin and grayish colored. It's supposed to be purple.

Mag 1340
Cal 420
Po4 0
Nitrate 2
Alk 7.5

Google didn't turn up anything for me. Anyone seen this before?

Frag of what? Usually caused by 0 po4 or very low nitrates. But that applies to acroporas

Please post an image, how long you have had the coral, and lighting?
