Hey guys,

so I have these montipora digitatas.
The one on the left is healthy, polyps look great.
but the one on the right seems to have browned from the tips?
Any idea why this could be?

im running AI prime 16 light, all parameters are good.

From personal experience, location could be a "Make" or "Break" for some corals. I can only assume it was from inadequate lighting in a particular location in my system. A frag from the same colony is thriving at another location. Just a thought.

Check your nutrients, browning of sps can be 1 of 2 things..nutrients or lighting..I’m having trouble with sps growing due to my phosphates being so high and nitrate being low

That type of brown, necrosis in your case, could be caused by stress from a contamination, stray voltage, poor lighting, or not enough nutrition, which is way more involved than just a residual no3/po4 test.

No one will be able to lead you in the right direction if all we know is “parameters are good”.

What are your parameters, tank size, lighting and schedule, how many fish, and how much do you feed? Do you have your own r/o system or do you put source your water?
