What other corals in aquarium and how are they doing?

I'd guess too much light. I have an Orange Plate coral that is being bleached in the center and it's in the bottom of a 23" high tank under 250watt MH and 96watt T-5. Some can take alot of light, where some can't. Try moving it into a shaded spot as suggested above.

Thanks...I'll move it to the bottom and see if it helps.

how big is the favia dave?

 

[DC2009]

It's just a small frag. Maybe the size of a 50 cent piece. I really hope I don't lose it, I moved it to the bottom of the tank to get less light to see how it does.
