It is hard to tell from the picture but it does seem to be half blue and the other half algae covered.

I had this happen to a piece last week. It shed its flesh. I moved mine to less flow and it started to come out again but I new something was wrong because polyps wernt out for two days. Check your parmeters I had a small phosphate spike.

If you bought it like that it was already on its way out when you got it. The tips were already missing tissue. I hope nobody sold it to you like that your pic shows a coral in serious trouble.

I always thought SPS are colored from inside and doesn't have any outer tissue :P

Yah I guess this thing doesn't ship well.

Yap checked the params (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, kh, ph, calcium) and all of them are in check. I feel like color blind when testing for phosphate but I am pretty sure its below 0.05ppm.

No, they have the white calcium skeleton, then that is covered with layers of tissue, within this tissue is the varying pigments and algae.

Ah you are starting another carbon thread :lol: :wink:

I don't run any carbon in reactor but I just put a bag of aquaclear carbon in the filter. I don't like smelly water :P
