frogspawn dying :(

[daisy]

I have not got a good pic of it, and don't know if I will be able to b/c of the location of this coral and the weaknesses of my camera, but I am having a problem with a frogspawn and want you to help me trouble shoot this.

I lost a frogspawn \ a few months ago, but the other seemed to escape unscathed - but this evening I noticed that one head of a seven or eight head colony is dying.

The flesh is simply coming unattached from the skeleton. It is not brown, it is just coming off. When this happened to the other colony, each head took a few days to come off, and over the course of a few weeks, the whole colony died this way.

I have done water changes weekly for a few months now. My params are all good there is plenty of flow. This colony has been in the same location and doing well for over a year.

Please share ideas as to what I should check or change!

Thanks!

all other corals and fish doing ok.

Flow, how much?

Are any of the powerheads directly pointed at the fragspawn, because they really don't like to be put in areas of high flow.

Try changing the spot of the coral

Good luck.

A photo showing the position of the coral in relation to the pumps and lights would rule out a lot of stuff.

I will post pics tomorrow - I doubt it's a flow issue because it's been in the same place for over a year and has thrived.

But i'll be happy to move it if you think that will save it...

Three fish, other LPS and softies all doing fine at this point. For a while I was losing zoas, but changed my T5 bulbs and they are coming back...

Is there anything growing up the base of the skeleton?
