I bought a quite large colony of pulsing xenia coral a few weeks ago. And looked great until today all the polyps look almost like its getting burnt. They stopped pulsing. Whats going on? I run 3 hydra 25s on my 150 mixed reef. It runs at about 70% power. Any idea what could be causing this?? Heres a pic;

Water parameters? I know xenia like N03 and P04.
Thank you for the response. Ammonia
0 - .25 , Nitrite 0, Nitrates 0 - .5, Ph 8.0. Also should mention the calcium is just above 500.
 
Better let them die because they'll pop up everywhere.
Haha yeah. They grow like crazy in my 20g long tank. Spent like 50$ for that good sized colony. Still have no idea what causing it. To much light? Flow? Chemistry issue? Everything else is the tank is doing amazing...
