Colt Coral not doing well

[halcyonism]

I picked up a nice colt last weekend, opened up the next day but progressively got worse until today it is not opening up at all and some of the limbs are turning brown and "bubbly" looking. I attempted moving it lower in the tank with no luck, so I moved it back to where I originally had it. Parameters are all good; 0 ammonia, 0 nitrate, 0 nitrate, SG 1.024 and temp at 79. All other corals in the tank are doing great, zoas, birdnest, frogspawn, candycane and GSP.

Any thoughts on what is going wrong?

IME, my colts like alot of light and a good flow, just make sure it is not looking like a hurricane is blowing in. Try that and see if it will help. Once I moved mine up and gave it more flow it filled out well (took a couple days though). I hope this would help. Anyone else have any other input?

You might wanna get your salinity to 1.026. I agree with bluebill they like a lot of light, I have a very large colt up on top of my rocks. All that being said, when I first got started I had a colt for about 6 months and then it died on me within a couple of days turning brown and wilting. I dont know what caused it, I asked a LFS and they said "sometimes they just do that"

Do you use carbon?
