A couple of weeks ago my Enchinata started to lose some tissue from some of the tips and along the base on one side, Everything else in the tank is doing fine. Doesn't look like there has been any changes for the better or worse since it started. Could it be that the BTA right below it will sometimes brush up against that part? It's only happening to this side of the frag, the other is good and encrusting on the rock.
75g with 2 Kessil A160WE and 2 T5 supplements ATI Blue + and Coral +. Kessils 40% color and 80% intensity on a 12hr schedule 2hr ramp up and down. The T5's come on when the Kessils reach peak and go off 6 hrs later. No changes to this schedule.

The best I could take with my phone. It's only happening to the base and some of the tips right above, on this side where the BTA is.
 
It's a smaller frag, only way to know for sure is move the plug. When my BTA tentacles swayed in the direction of my montipora the areas turned white.
 
It starting to encrust onto the rock on the other side, I'm afraid to move it and make it worse. I was thinking of getting a small piece of live rock and glue right above the BTA as a barrier.
