Death on the underside is caused by parameter swings (especially in young tanks) and often from point-source lighting shadowing issues.
One alk swing will not usually do this... it has to be constant inconsistency.
If your tank is less than a year old, then you just have to wait. Nobody wants to hear this, but there is no getting around it, really. ...even the people that think that they have stable young tanks are kinda fooling themselves a bit and even comment later that they had no idea what they were talking about now that their tank is older and more mature.
Yes, keep everything stable. While parameter numbers do matter, consistency is probably more important than any one value (until/unless you are wanting to specialize).
These can sometimes grow back, but not always. If it is point-source shading, then it will get worse and probably not have much chance of growing back unless you change the lighting.

Thanks for the response. Tank is about 1.5 years old. I’ll be the first to admit that I still have a lot to learn. I don’t think it is shading as I have a led t5 system. I’ll just do my best to keep things stable. If it continues to get worse should I trim off the good part?
Was that just over one night? I personally would wait and see what happens. Sometimes the death will stop and the acro will recover. If it starts happening fast fragging it up hasn’t worked well for me to stop it since the entire coral is already weakened.
Glad you said have t5, one less it’s led fault thread.
