I've got a lot of this stuff, I think it's dying...

My LR came with some of this on just about every piece. Since it's arrival, much of it is turning white as you can see in the photo.

Mine turned white in the cycling process and is still a skeletal structure. I since have had new groups pop up and do great. Not sure what it is though- sorry

i believe its a type of suncoral and yea not real good that it dieing imo ! how new is the tank has it cycled ?

 

[Fluff]

It's a Cladocora sp. A type of tube coral.

I agree with Fluff. I've got quite a few on my LR. They are quite common.

Yes, the tank has cycled. It was FO which is now going to be FOWLR and eventually reef.

What does this stuff need to live? What might I not be giving it, in other words?

And am I going to have a huge ammo spike if I have a good amount of this stuff dying?

Since you just got your rock it is likely just part of the travel process. I'm sure you'll see them bounce back in no time. Keep testing your water and be prepared for a change if need be but you'll probably be fine.

I got a lot of that stuff from the rock I picked up from TBS. Mine was white when I first got the rock and now it has all turned back to the normal color.

the question should be what lighting is it under?
