lps melting

[romperstomper]

Chalice has always done really well and was grown from a small frag into this with high NO3 around 25 but now he is really struggling checked NO3 and its crept up to 50 trying my best to reduce, but is this the reason for the melting I did catch my yellow tang pecking at the damaged areas so moved the coral to the sump ,for protection to recover ,do I cut off the damaged areas (whats the best tool to use ) all other LPS seem to be doing well blast doing really well . Experienced opinions, please .

Was it close to anything else to get stung?

no it was in the tank corner it also looks the same on the other side he may have had a brushing ether side during maintenance but looked okay afterwards certainly did not look damaged at the time .

Identical problem, not sure it was my yellow, the blue and the sail fin looks to taste as well.

Sealed a 2” circle of tasting with 2-part epoxy.

Hopefully will regrown over.

Yup, the same.
So far after moving to a no fish tank, the problem has stopped.
