Hello. I recently added a toadstool coral to my tank about 4 days ago, and ive noticed these patches of brown in the flesh. Is this tissue dying? How can i fix this?

It looks like either something is eating at it, or else it is deteriorating. Can you share more details on your tank? parameters, lighting, flow, tank age, how are other corals doing? etc..

Its a biocube 32 that ive had running about 8 months. I have the led hood with 2 led light bars from 21LEDUSA. For flow i have the return pump and a hygger 1500gph set at 35%. Placed bout 6" below the return nozzle on the left side, but angled toward the surface. My zoas, blasto and euphyllia are doing well. I also have 2 clowns and a 6-line wrasse. The parameters i measured a few days before putting the toadstool in are below. I also dipped it in CoralRx for about 7 minutes before introducing

Temp. 77-78
Salinity 1.026
Ph 8.0
Alk. 8.3
Nitrate 1.0
Phosphate. .30
Calcium 390
Magnesium 1230
