need advice on a sps frag
one of my newly aquired SPS frags fell of its spot last night, upside down in the sand of course,...by the time i saw it and picked it up today, a small spot of it has bleached... should I just leave it or break off the small bleached spot? the rest of it is fine.

I would leave it as is for right now. Monitor it, and in a day or two if it's getting worse I'd frag that part. otherwise, it should recover.

HMMMMmmmm...
now that you mention it, it does seem to be a problem with the clownfish in the frag tank... 
I concur on letting the frag be for now, as well as the quest for mor photos!

LOL on the acro hating clownfish...,yes, i have 2 clownfish... but seeing as they have 2 huge GBTAs that live side by side on the same rock, they never leave their sanctuary...I don't think they have any idea there is a whole big tank out there! LOL
