Xenia dying! Need help
First the tank info
75g no sump 3 maxi jet 1200 on a wavemaker Aqua C Remora Pro HOB skimmer About 120 lbs live rock 1-2 inch sandbed Salinity 1.026 Temp 79 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Tank inhabitants 2 False percs 1 flame hawkfish 1 blue/yellow damsel 1 yellow tang several snails /blue leg hermits Tank has been running for over a year with no problems. I mainly have softies and 1 closed brain. I have 1 large Xenia (softball sized) in this tank and two smaller frags in other areas of the tank. This morning the large Xenia was completly lifeless and had truned from a pink to a blue/purple. It has shrivled considerably as well. There is obviously a problem. The other two frags look normal and happy. Any ideas what might be wrong here.

Mine crashed into a pile of white goo on the live rock in the middle of my tank after 5 or 6 monthes. A month later, I now have three frags growing rapidly in three different areas of my tank. I have no explaination for this. I've read other posts by people with similiar experiences.

Yeah, that is exactly that happened here. I have never lost a coral before so it is kind of unsettling. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
The thing has spread like wildfire in the 4 months that I have had it and really looked like it was thriving. Now it just collapses. It just seems weird.
