Sigh, so after only a few months in the hobby, I am experiencing my first dying/dead coral. My wife picked out the sun coral a few weeks back and I've been feeding it every day using a dome or putting it in a separate container. It was opening and eating okay. However, in the past couple days, I see that one sub-colony is dying (bottom of pic). The other sub-colony (top of pic) seems to be okay. Both colonies are on the same rock. My question is can I just let the dying colony die or do I need to take it out of the tank? Will this cause some water quality issue like a dead fish?
