    Earlier I was looking at my tank and noticed the back corner of my chalice was dieing off. The corner was under branch and the rest was in some light..

    I have been starring at it and is it ok? Does it look like the flesh is shrunk inward? I dont have a pic of the dead area but it can kinda be seen in the below picture..

    Just want to make sure the rest of it looks ok and not shriveling up or dieing... Should it be "puffier"??

    What I see looks fine. I've had chalices do that in areas which get completely shaded; that's all I think is happening here.

    Keep an eye on it; if it gets worse consider cutting away the dying part and doing an iodine dip on the colony.

    Nice chalice btw. :)
