Pulsing coral died!?!

[justjes45]

So I am new to this hobby, so I don't know the official name, but I had a blue-ish pulsing coral I loved and it just upped and died. It was just starting to grow new "babies"...
I moved it, thought it liked it there, and it is now dead. It was closer to my circulation pump.. Was it too much movement?
Poor thing...

Mine generally like good flow and a decent amount of light, but I don't put them directly in front of a powerhead. What are your parameters and what kind of light were they getting?

And they're called Xenia.

Could have been too much, or too little flow.

Or it could have been lighting, water chemistry, temperature, salinity...

IME it is a hardy and forgiving soft coral and hard to kill. Something must have been way off.

When I was dosing vinegar there was a noticeable regression in the size of my xenia colonies b/c the nitrates were dropping.
