platygora problem

[zdawgnight]

I bought a platygora frag a couple weeks ago and i have noticed that it is going through some fast tissue ressecion im new to the reefing hobby and have no idea how to counter act this problem. i have it in a mid to high level lighting with a metal halide and a mid to heavy water flow. My perameters arent perfect right now im doing a water change tommorow but all my other corals are still looking as great as ever (frog spawn ricordia acan lord and long tenticled toadstool) if you could help a newbie it would be much appreciated

does nobody know about platygora? anything would help its dieing

move it from high lighting to low lighting, this coral does not like high light.

it could be a combination of the lighting and water parameters, put it into lower lighting and make sure your water quality is good and it should come back ok

I agree with organism.

Platygyra's are pretty hardy and should bounce back. If it keeps receeding, you might want to think about dipping and maybe a little fragging. But it sounds like a water parameter problem.

Good luck=)

Put it in medium to low flow too
