Dying coral

[Jhead85]

Not sure the type of coral something my brother fragged for me but this is the second one that is wilting away...nothin else in the tank is effected

Research STN. There are a ton of factors. I think alkalinity stability is the most important. It also helps if it is encrusting and healed when putting SPS in tank

tiny frags usually have a poor survival rate

Its a sps stick.  Needs more light is my guess

make sure the chemical is stable.

It's the only sps that does this in my tank the few others are a ok

+1. Fresh cut frags like this are vulnerable. You may want to frag it again to isolate just the good tissue and hope for the best with an even tinier piece.

 

I've had some luck with iodine dips for corals in this condition, but it can be hit or miss.

 

Also check your alk levels to make sure they're acceptable.

Check the source water too if you can...what conditions is it coming from?

Water source is county water..and the water goes through a 5 stage rodi unit I use the same water as my brother and his are unaffected
