Help!
I have this pavona. And I had it about half way up. And it’s browning. It’s an SPS but I’ve read that it requires lower light. Any suggestions where I should put it and try and save it?

Attached are my parameters now

Can you lower the intensity of the lighting system?

I can. But everything else is thriving. I didn’t wanna crash anything else in my tank. Mostly LPS and softies.

Light isn’t your problem. It’s low nutrients. I also have mini potatochip pavona and they do horrible under 2ppm nitrates. This was my OG colony.

Just leave it alone and let it recover. It's a pretty hardy coral. I have a chunk that broke off from the main colony, fell onto the sand and I just left it there since 3 months ago and its still alive and green as grass.
