I have a colt coral that has been shrinking over the last month. It has been in my aquarium since April, and was doing great. All my water parameters seem to be ok. Also, all of my other coral are doing fine and growing.

What could be causing this? It is my understanding that colts are very hardy. Is there anything I can do for this guy?

Post your tank parameters.

Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrite - 0 ppm
Nitrate - 0 ppm
PH - 7.8 (just after the lights come on), 8.2 (before lights go off)
Alkalinity - 2.9
Salinity - 1.0265

I feel like these are normal. Is there anything else I should be testing for?

If anyone is interested I found the culprit. There was a nudibranch under the frag that the colt was on. It looked just like the colt coral. My colt seems to be recovering. Sometimes you just never know what you are going to find in a saltwater aquarium.
