Is it in a very bright area?

Try putting it in a lower lit area.

[damien]

also could be ur water condition...

is it star polyps to the right side of the moon? it does not open?

when was the last time u change water?

[boxfish]

is it melting away?

[borinz]

update. the coral starts dying liao... but the bleaching has stopped after i dip in the Kent Marine Tech D solution. should i dip it in the solution again?

you may want to check your lighting and water parameter to confirm they are o.k

if all the rest of the coral are still doing well then could be others hidden problem

Is the coral still bloom currently? Add additive that require by the coral

if is lighting too bright move it to other place mentioned too by other reefer.

cheers

place the moon on the sand and give it alot of space to try out. Stop med if it does not work in the first place. try area not directly above strong lights like MH.

Your pic seems blur but i figure you had one of its sides against a rock izzit? their tentacles extend all round, so look at if this is wat started it to stress and fell ill.

Other corals maybe more tolerance while others are sensitive.

Coral warfare? Or look at the surrounding areas for any foreign lifeforms like sponges etc. Some sponges in the process of growing will release chemicals that will cause nearby coral tissue to become stressed.
