    Did you take the rock out of the tank. When I clean my plastic equipment or move stuff from one tank to another I have that happen. It has always recovered for me.

    is ur tank new? if so ur supplement levels r prolly low, thats why the coraline is dying, dont worry though once ur tank is more mature it will grow back :)
