What color is it supposed to be? Looks bleached.I am not sure what’s the issue with this guy, started on his underside and now it’s getting it all over. Is it too much light should I move it to a shaded spot?

It’s on a plug sitting on the only non live rock in the tank. It has been doing fine for the last two monthsThat thing looks like a gonner already....
What do you have it mounted to?
Doesnt look like liverock.
Yeah that’s a goner.Red unfortunately

have been stability issues with my ph and using seachem reef buffer almost daily to catch up my ph. Doesn’t that lower the alk? Maybe that is the issue.Mine went the same and did nt recover. I put it down to a swing in alk I was having at the time
have only had it for two months, I recently moved it higher in tank, but it was already pretty high to begin with direct under the light. All my other coral are fine, zoas, favia, Xenia, leather etcalso... it looks like it has been trying to grow straight up, not enough light.
can you share your tank setup - details and water parameters? maybe a full tank shot as well.
any other corals in the tank? how are they doing?

Ok thanks for the advice. What product works best for alk and testing for it?Focus on Alk vs. ph. If alk is good ph will follow.
Baking soda is cheap and highly effective. Get a good testing kit like Hanna, Salifert or Red Sea. Stay away from API.Ok thanks for the advice. What product works best for alk and testing for it?
As JGT said focus on Alkalinity SPS will not tolerate ALk swingsI

I’m not home for another picture, the only issue I’m having is ph and using seachem ph buffer to try to get that up

I just ordered a alk test kit. I’m really new to keeping coral and I was really focused on ph, salinity, nitrates, calcium. Now I realize alk is probably one of the most important ones!have you tested your Alkalinity recently?
if you're only dosing this buffer to chase PH, and not to keep Alk levels where they need to be, there's a very high possibility your alk is through the roof.

It’s only two months old in my tank. It was originally that cup shape growing like that. You think it’s cuz of low lighting it grew upwards?Looks bleached and dead. I agree, its growing up, so you probably don't have sufficient lights.
