Dip it, something like flatworms might be eating it slowly, start seeing skeleton and it's pretty much toast.

what are your water parameters?
Alk, cal, salinity, nitrates, etc.

how long have you had it?

yeah i will give that a try tonight.

my salinity is 1.026 and phosphat is 0.7ppm
other beside that i haven't test for awhile but will test that tonight. I have it around 1month now.

do you dose anything currently?

At first I thought it was a torch coral. It maybe extending to reach the light. Maybe too much shading. Try moving it out a little more.

That something im curious about too so right now i move him abit upward and more direct to light and let see what happen. Also my tank is Nuvo 20 and i use just one Ai Prime so is that enought light for my tank ???

Wouldn't it be the opposite? With the high phosphate level at .7ppm and not .07ppm doesn't that high level work as a magnifying glass to the light? Wouldn't that be the reason for it shrinking?

let me test that again, it confuse me now if that is 0.07 or 0.7 anyway thank for mention that

So i double check again and it show 0.9ppm it kind of increase maybe because of taking out GFO and Carbon due to the Chaeto Reactor also my other seem fine.
