2 things: its just hiding or receding itself due to a lot of reasons. hiding because too much light, flow, etc. Or it could be receding which is bad due to water conditions. Not sure yet judging by the picture. How long has it been like this?

Mine did that as well as a torch 2 weeks later...it didn't end well. Hope yours pulls through!
I never found a reason.

From my experience personally and seeing it on these forums frogspawn/hammers,etc... just die sometimes in "newer" tanks for no reason (that we can see anyways)..

It happens quite often..
And almost impossible to tell if its from parameters/flow/light or whatever...

Knowing your parameters, however, would help: my sig line has params that are pretty good for that coral.
