Blue Scroll Coral Help

[Bongo Shrimp]

So I just got this beauty off DD a little over a week ago. Ever since I got it it has not polyped out or stopped sliming, rather excessively. I mean to the point where I can scoop slime out with my hand. I have it in my biocube 29g with 30 cree XR-Es in the hood as a retro kit. I have a vortech mp10 on order to increase my flow since I plan on getting more SPS. Now today I noticed the tips of the coralites seem to be starting to brown.

I have heard it could be potassium (which I don't dose [yet] but a friend is going to give me some to try). Or light- too much? Too little? Or flow?

I wouldn't just add anything with out testing for it first. you just got it and by the looks of it ,its sitting on the top. I would put it on the bottom to adjust to the light for a while. I have left them there for a few weeks.
good luck.

Ok I agree about the testing. I'll go get a kit. And I will move it down too.

Definitely move it down, those LEDs might bleach it out. Ideally move it to the sandbed.

If you suspect that water quality may be the issue, do a few small water changes. Double check salinity of course.
