    That happened to me once, one of the branches died, but after that everything went well. Have you checked ALL parameters, last time you changed your bulbs, did you acclaimate it?

    thanks for the quick pics mate .
    It seems bizar that it has affected a small section like that
    I dont think water movement is your trouble that seems to be fine .
    One point that does come to mind is maybee your fish, you seem to have a few in their are they all old tank mates or have you recently introduced a few new fish?

    No need to target feed them something so small like Brine or mysis and foul your water up just take a little chunk of a raw shrimp and place that into them like an anemone they will do the rest and just feed one head and that will feed the entire Colony.
