usually about 450, thats where it stays but i will check it, i took out the cap broke a bunch of frags off, and soaked them in rx, i think thats what i have,and a bunch of mini brittle stars came off, for what thats worth

check your alk level also.   caps seem to be real suspectable to alk but it is usually a slow color loss.   I think that it looks more like chemical warfare from another coral.  I have had acros and millis fall onto my caps and the area where they landed on the cap will look just like yours within no time at all.  Maybe something landed on it and got blown around with your current?

that might be possible, not sure where it can from though, but a good thought

My wall hammer loses a tip or two from time to time. They stick to things and kill off a small part.

My orange cap is toast too. My ALK dropped a bit
