Tank has been running for over a year with no problems. I mainly have softies and 1 closed brain. I have 1 large Xenia (softball sized) in this tank and two smaller frags in other areas of the tank. This morning the large Xenia was completly lifeless and had truned from a pink to a blue/purple. It has shrivled considerably as well. There is obviously a problem. The other two frags look normal and happy. Any ideas what might be wrong here.

Mine crashed into a pile of white goo on the live rock in the middle of my tank after 5 or 6 monthes. A month later, I now have three frags growing rapidly in three different areas of my tank. I have no explaination for this. I've read other posts by people with similiar experiences.

Yeah, that is exactly that happened here. I have never lost a coral before so it is kind of unsettling. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

The thing has spread like wildfire in the 4 months that I have had it and really looked like it was thriving. Now it just collapses. It just seems weird.
