please help me ID this coral and give me advise on how to improve his health. He appears to be going down hill as the live portion is receding and he is getting smaller.
I have radion LED lighting, protein skimmer 240 DT and 40 gal sump, regularly increasing CA and Kh.
My other corals appear to be content.
thanks

looks like he is right next to a large leather. Perhaps move him upstream away from the leather and possible chemical warfare

would more light be better or worse?

^This. Those leathers also shed skin periodically. Before I got rid of mine (it dropped babies everywhere) I ended up moving it out into the sand on its own rock island because of the warfare.
