Salinity 1.024, ph 7.99, alk 7.0 , calcium 420, mag 1360, water temp 79 , lighting- 2 tao tronics LED reef grow lights 120 watt ( bright as hell) , Nitrate 0, nitrite 0, phosphate tested 0 but i had to remove quite a bit of hair algae today so thats probably wrong.

maybe too much flow??

i moved it to a spot where there is almost no flow cuz i was thinking the same thing. the problem seems to be getting worse

I can't exactly say what the issue is with those areas bleaching/dying but I would not feed it large food atm for fear of stressing it out more.

Another thing: if it should die do not remove the skeleton. I have seen little Fungias emerge from skeletons that have been dead for a considerable time (weeks/months).

I had same issue with mine and I put it in low flow and DID NOT feed it for a while. It actually lost more than 50% of tissue then decided to come back and I still have it today. I also did a revive dip just for fun so I felt I did all I could. I also agree with the skeleton I have seen them pop back after 6 months of being dead.
