    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I have Stylo, have had Stylo and killed it.

    From what I gather this is coral that likes a decent amount of flow. I keep mine high with mod to strong flow, so far so good.

    Perhaps move the one piece that is not doing as well as the others.

    I have mine in almost direct flow a few inches from a 425gph powerhead and it loves the spot. Only had it a month and it has encrusted from the frag plug onto the surrounding rock and grown several bumps on its branches with great polyp extention
