I have a orange digita that has been doing great and growing base on my rock like crazy. I woke up yesterday and the base of the original coral is all white and all the polyps are in. The rest of the coral is still orange but no polyps. I am going to watch it to see if the white keeps spreading. Anyone know what is going on or what I can do to help it????? It looks like the polpys are completely gone where the white is.

I also have a pink digita which is fine but it is in the same area of the orange...I don't want to let it spread if that is what is happening.

I have some pics but they arent' that good.

Please help!!!!! :(

I'll be watching this thread--I have some of this in my tank but I can't remember what it's called. I'm terrible at SPS ID...

Calcium deficiency causes a certain diseas that starts bleaching them from the bottom up like that. Ihave no idea what its called though?
Certain mini stars will start at the base and eat sps polyps one by one also.
What type of lighting do you have?

OH, BTW, you will get more response if this thread is posted in the General Reefkeeping forum. My apparently inane initial response was due to the fact that I thought you were looking for an ID, since it was posted in this forum.
