SPS loosing flesh from tip
 
I noticed today morning that one of my sps has started to loose flesh (peeling off) from the tip. I am assuming this is due to the high alk that I had few weeks ago (brought it down). My question is, should I cut off the tips loosing flesh or just let it settle down now that the alk is in correct range.

Thanks :)

Cut them off. I had the same thing when my alk dropped too low. The dead tips will attract algae.

Thanks Walter. I have cut as many tips as I can. Hope the coral recovers soon. The favorite ones seems to always take the first bullet.
