Milliapora pink dying

[Dutch Royalty]

My millepora is growing but some branches are dying from under to top by loosing tissues and whiten out.
Someone an idea what this can be. The coral is big so I can easily frag a part. But I want to know what is the reason. Flow or lightning or a bug that is eating my coral.
Pleas help me.

Here you go. For some reason photobucket and Tapatalk are doing funny things to img links. You just need to remove the added stuff and include just the IMG code.

It's really funny because now I can't see the photo on my phone.

I know what you mean and I do not get it either. If I post a picture using my phone, I can not see it on the laptop. I changed your img link and I can see it on both my phone and laptop now. :hmm5:

As far as what is going on with your coral, could you list some details about the tank. Parameters, age of tank, how long have you had the coral, bought as a small colony or grown from frag etc?

To me Looks like rtn I would frag that part off asap ..but hard to tell from the photo. Has the tissue been continuing to flake off if so I would chance it just frag it

Fo what is rtn standing for....
And why it happen. Can it jump over to other corals....

The most probable reason is the tank is immature still (as it is 5 months old only). The coral may lose slowly the tissue until it die . Some people are lucky with young tanks and sps some not. I hope it will stop, anyway as said prepare a few frags, some of them may survive.

Thanks for the information. It is only this coral. I framed it and Toke 5 frags from it and deleted the mother colony.

Large colonies are more sensitive

I would keep a eye on it, if it continues anymore I would start fragging unless that whole colony will be gone, also be ready to dip it.
