    Thats what I've been reading but honestly nothing has changed in the tank. Every other coral is doing great.

    I just went and looked at your tank build thread. It seems that you have a lot of softies, including button polyps. Are you running carbon. I think I would run at carbon at a slow flow for 24/7 to clean up the toxins from the xenia and leathers. Also, a few water changes b/c I bet it is from a build up of organics but I am kind of guessing at this point.

    My GSP thrives in my 120g sps reef for some reason. I don't honestly know if it is the alternating flow or if it is the low nutrients.
