Help Acro Not Doin Hot

[Phatty42081]

hey guys i just noticed last night that one of the branchs on my acro is bleaching, then when i woke this morning i noticed it was worse. could there be to much flow on it, i did move it recently something had knocked it free from where it had been glued, and when i put it back down it is closer to the pump now. that is the only real change, also could it have been damaged when itfell, it landed on the sand?? i will try and post some parms later but any ideas or possible cause are welocome in the mean time.

its hard to say what might have caused the bleaching. it could have been stung by another coral when it fell. sometimes if an acro is left in the sand for to long it wont get flow or light on the branches that were in the sand, and bleaching happens... if it was just for a few hrs i doubt that would be the problem though. just keep an eye on it and if things continue to get worse each day you can cut the branch off that is dying, or try moving the coral to another place, but that may stress it more.
