So I can update this a bit.
I moved the galaxaura to the middle of the tank where its getting much more flow and light, and that seems to have stopped the death. I also took a few bits off of it and placed it around the tank to see what would live/die. So far, having the bits practically right next to my lights didn't cause bleaching so its likely this guy was starving for light.
For signs of growth, some of the tips that are still pink have extended with a little bit of lighter coloring at the tips. These tips aren't bleaching though, its just further extension as best I can tell.
Im also dosing Kents Iron and Manganese supplements, Kents Iodine supplement, and even bought some Seachem flourish phosphorus supplement bc I can't tell what my level is yet. I don't want to have any limiting components. Ill know my phosphate levels once my hanna reagent finally gets here.
