Hello.
First off your not dumb for not joining or posting, your like many others. But I’m glad you did, maybe we can help you
for me I have a few and they all seem to be doing ok, and seem easier to care for then other corals like sps and some lps.
might be lighting, or water parameters.
I run 4x AI Prime fixtures for lights. (Waiting on a seneye for PAR test)
my parameters:
ALK 10.3
CAL 490
MAG 1350
Phosphate .14
PH 8.2
Nitrate 2ppm
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Specific Gravity 1.026
Temp 79 degrees
if I was you I would check water parameters first.
Do you have other corals in your tank? If so how are they doing?
