    I got a green torch with yellow tips and it seems over the last week it has somehow beached itself white, and also have had my Xenia shrivel up


    i took water to lfs to a guy i trust and all tests came out ok except the phos. was a little high but i dont thing that should be affecting them

    i would get the po4 down first. they can really have an impact on corals over time.

    How long have you had them? They may still be getting acclimated to your lights and water. What are the specs on your tank/lighting?

    I agree get the phos down first. Lighting sounds good and they should be getting acclimated by now not going down hill.
