What kind of flow, light and what are the parameters of your tank?

i have noticed that mine likes moderate flow. if i put it in too much flow then it starts dying off and if i put it where it doesnt get much flow then it starts dying. mine seems to be sort of tempermental . just a thought....

probably not related but try raiseing the salinty to 1.026 i found that most corals LOVE It

 

[kateater]

[oceanparadise1]

i run my tank at 1.026 and ik alot of others do as well so dont be scared

thats is wher your salinty should be for a coral tank and it is probly geting to much light mine like the bottom of the tank med flow

Mines about 7" from a 150 watt metal halide, with a powerhead pointed at it, and its flourishing. I think something might be eating it, or it just doesnt like its spot

Edit: Your lights are kickin pretty good, maybe just move it a little. The 0.002 wont make any difference.

My GSP seem to wither away after I installed a much larger skimmer for my system.
