Dragon Soul Colony slowly receding

Hi,

I have had a Dragon Soul Favia colony for about 6 months now. It originaly had about 24 heads on there. It wasn't the brightest dragon soul I had seen but I thought I could color it up. However, within the last 2 months I noticed it slowly receded. I have tried changing flow and different lighting areas but to no avail.

I was just wondering where do most people have thriving dragon souls in their tank and what kind of light/flow they are using on it. And if any dips in particular might help its recovery. Thanks!

My frag is on the sand bed. It gets semi shaded light from a 250w MH. Maybe you have a pest. I have dipped acans in iodine with no negative experience.



Here's a wider shot of it in the background.
