Any idea what is happening to my coral...help

It should be getting indirect flow. Its possible that the flow is taking the tissue right off the tips if its right in front of a powerhead. Maybe move it a bit lower and out of the path of direct flow. It doesn't need a ton of flow, just moderate.

i'm leaning more towards tip burn as well. is it only this colony or are others showing the same signs? was this colony new to the tank?

i would raise your light a bit if you can

It is only this colony. And yes it is new to my tank maybe three weeks when I bought it.

Great thanks I will move it and give that a try.

So I took this coral out of my tank and dipped it....and a little crab came out of it one claw bigger than the other. would that maybe be why this coral is doing what it is doing. cause this little bastard crab was chewing on it What do you guys think or would it not hurt my coral?

It is pretty much reef safe and actually helping your coral according to where you took the picture from.
