    Khal, I would try to reposition it as eventually the color will fade and the tissue will die off due to reduction of light!
    Nice piece of Capricornis by the way! Good luck with it!

    i would move it away from that leather coral the leathers put out turponoids to retard growth of stony corals.in some cases it will flat out kill them. if you run a litle carbon once or twice a month for a few days it will clear those chemical warfare agents out of your tank.
    good luck

    Sometimes it will take some time for your corals to color up also!
