Question
What could cause my elegance coral and open brain coral to appear to be 'dieing back'?

Answer
Dennesa,
What are your water parameters like?  Have you tested your water for calcium, iodine, etc?  If so, what are those results like?

Also, what type of lighting are you using?  What are you feeding the corals?  Are these corals close to each other or any other corals?  They shouldn't be touching as they'll sting each other.

Get back to me with this information and I'll see what I can do to help you.

Thanks for your time and attention.
