    Perfectly normal in a new tank. The coralline is dying off and when it does that, it turns white. It'll come back though so no worries. What kind of coral is looking bad?

    not sure what it is, it browny with a thick "stump". reminds me of a brown daisy if something like that existed. It came on the LR but it's better today right back to normal so who knows. I don't think it apstasia as it doesn't have a think stem and it hasn't spread.
