At university now Will take a better photo with the dslr tomorrow morning when the lights come on.

I have seen this happen to an acropora I had and most probably the freakingly long tentacles of chalice hit it but this piece was way above the chalice. Don't know whether it was able to touch it too! I was thinking of cutting off that part. Would that be a good idea?

I really love this piece

Mines in low flow med light. I would guess a little die off. Color could be better to. With as many different types of coral you may be running into a chem battle rather than sweepers.
IMO cut it back and run some carbon if not doing so

Color is a bit washed out in the picture. Its bring pink-orange in the tank.

I do run carbon (chemi-pure elite). So should I cut that part?

Ok good

Cut off the dead parts. What's the surrounding corals within like 6"

Preiously, there was a monti pokerstar, an acro, a stylophora and the chalice (which was like 6" below) and now, in the new location, there's magician paly, a green zoa and a monti confusia (or something like that; I can't remember the exact name).

I was thinking its either because of the chalice or because of the low alk. Is it possible to have STN due to low alk?

[Proteus]

Yep low stn I believe can be related to low alk

How low is it right now
