I added a new coral to my tank a week ago and it's been going downhill since.

I am testing the water parameters now, but I have another coral that is doing fine.

Also, should I be concerned that the shrimp seems to constantly be snacking on this one?

Thanks,
Zach

possibly a poor acclimation? What kind of shrimp?

DUDE THE SHRIMP IS EATING THE DYING TISSUE. tHATS WHAT THEY DO MANY TIMES WATER PARAMETERS BUT MOSTLY ACCLIMATIONS IODINE OVER DOSE OR UNDERDOSE MAYBE

I tried peppermint shrimp they seem to kill off anything that looks like its about to die I have a couple small peppermints that dont seem to bother the coral it was only the larger ones that seek out coral. As for your tank I would check salinity first
