Where is it placed in the tank? What size tank? What kind of lights? What are your water parameters?

[stina]

It is on the very bottom, on livesand(0.5-1.3mm), only 4*T8 tubes are in use, water parameters are relativly good, 1.023, NO3=0, PO4=?, pH=8.3...

Tank is 180liters, 40G!

I am sure that my water parameters are ok, cuz this coral was ill before i get it, it was a gift, to try and save the coral...

Waht do you think?
Should i try and cut all dead parts of the skelet?!
kind regards,
Vedran
