    Exclamation My coral seems to be dying!!

    I have had this coral for at least 6 months now and it has been thriving, it got dropped a couple of times during a cleaning the rock it was wedged in got knocked off. I have attached a picture of it a few weeks ago and the second has a picture of my torch coral which has lost the left section, which hasn't grown back yet, the third is from today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (there are also three other corals not shown in the pictures that are flourishing)

    That's Goniopora. They are probably the most difficult coral to care for, and require pristine water conditions, light, feeding etc. Most don't even make it that long. Dropping it doesn't help either. Hopefully you have something for that space, as it will be gone shortly.

    Not a clue. They are so difficult and I am speaking from experience. Best bet is to leave it alone for now. Hands out of tank is always a good policy.

    Did i miss read anywhere? You have to spot feed these corals. How often have you been feeding it? Is it a realatively same position it was in before? Flow? Other water parameters?
