Like the title says, my Elegance coral looked healthy yesterday and then today, it was detached from the base and is on the other side of the tank floating on the bottom. No other corals are near it. While floating, it actually looks alive and well (eg opened up).

Parameters are:
Nitrate 3-5
Phos .06 (I have been dosing Neo phos for about 3 weeks)
Alk: 7.5
Salinity 1.025
Temp 80F
Calcium: Did not test, but usually around 300 (no SPS)


Anybody have this happen to them and can an elegance reattach itself or is it a goner? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!

Here are some pics. It moved to the back of the tank where I have some dinos. The original spot had minor dinos and was a medium flow area.
