I had a pretty decent size sun coral feeding very regularly day and night for about 2 months. Would eat coral frenzy pellet food and lots of it. Loved it for that matter.
I happened to move it a little bit higher up, obv more light but not like enough to really think it would effect the coral...its an NPS anyway. It got good flow, etc. Water params never changed, all are within range.
I noticed for the last week it didn't open up so I took a little phyto feast in a baster and blew it gently at it and to my shock the polpys virtually disintegrated out.
umm, from like bloomingly healthy to like dead in a week? No other corals except my birdsnest started to suddenly bleach a bit but the tips remain ok. Some say that it could be po4 being reduced too quickly? I did add a UV sterilizer but cant imagine that would take its toll on these guys?
Possibly too much light on this sun coral? I moved it back to its spot and its really not that much lower and out of the light...so I am a little unsure. Ideas?
