Hello everyone. I just picked up a frag of an orange Montiporo Capricornis (whorling Montipora) and he's looking a little rough. I got him late, and decided to place him somewhere calm in the tank and leave him unattached over night. Unfortunately in the process of doing a little rearranging he slid off his perch and landed on a new Montipora Digita (velvet coral) frag. When I finally rescued him and returned him to someplace more secure, he was partially covered by a greyish brown slime. Then when I woke up this morn, I discovered he is now completely covered in the slime. Can't see any orange at all. Is this from touching the other coral? Is it just because he is unhappy? Help!
