Everything else seems happy enough in the tank. The kicker is an frag from this colony is doing great on the other side of the tank.

Any suggestions? I don't know much about gorgs except the other 4 varieties are doing well.

It would be a pity to lose this gorg as its the biggest thing in my tank

You need to frag it or it may not heal , cut the exposed stem off and leave just a few mm and then glue it to a plug ,give one to a friend for insurance it's a pretty hardy gorg.

Anything recent change with your system assuming all water is on par and fish are well behaved?
