    In order to help we need info to narrow down the issue.

    How old is the tank? Give us a complete run down on your set up- lights, sump/fuge, skimmer, additives, flow, ect.

    We also need to know a bit about your water parameters, like- po4, no3, amonia, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, ect.

    Have you done anything different, or changed anything out of the ordinary lately? Would really like to help. Just need a bit of info.

    ^ Very true.

    Are they turning brown? Are they turning white? Is the flesh peeling off? Are the tips only white? Are the bases only white?

    All these questions can lead to an answer for you.

    could be a number of things. Anything from a vibrio infection to AEFW. Alk swings are particularly suspicious in cases where Acropora that were doing well take a nose dive. Things may have also been building for a while with little symptoms here and there. I would like to see a picture of what is going on and then I think most members here would be able to say say...pull it, frag it, dip, etc.
