yes this is true I have seen it. I dont think it is the case here though. If they do go bad they pick out the polyps. If the fragg losed some tissue of the lose stopped then I would not worry I should recover just fine. If it getts worse then I would cutt the good part off and reglew it somewhere.

I'm also having trouble with my ORA Oregon tort. I've had it for almost 8 weeks now. It never showed any polyp extension and you can actually see inside the corallites. They look empty, like it doesn't even have polyps. It's faded some and receded along the base. It's been a very slow decline, so I'm hoping I can reverse it. I recently moved it down to the sand where it gets less light and more water flow. My guess right now is that it wasn't getting enough flow, but I'll have to wait and see what happens. You seem to have a healthy portion with good color and polyp extension. If the recession stops progressing you should be alright.

From whats been written I would guess the same thing.
I've brought ni a few ORA frags this year so far, and they've all started about 6" under the water line, being lit by a 250 DE HQI MH with a Phoenix 14K bulb in it. If I do this with other frags, most will stress out, but I dont have any problems with the ORA frags doing this. I started my "Dustins Deepwater" at the bottom of my frag tank, and it actually browned out on me. I moved it up about a week later, and within a few days it was regaining color. I think between the natural lighting, along with the supplemental light they receive a high intensity, making them more used to the high levels in the tank.
