Why do you put three dots above all of your posts? Do you not know you can skip the title area & just reply?

corals dying from old age?

i think params are a big part of it but other things could cause it like flow, disease+parasites, bullying+stings etc.

lets get back to topic here and continue helping this guy out

Yeah, mine's died off, BUT I found 5 tiny "buds" growning from the sides of the two dead ones. In two years, they've grown really nice. So don't throw it out if you see tiny "buds" growning off on the side of the main stalks.

can you post some tank parameters so we can figure out why the coral is dying?

It's hard to define whether the are hardy or not-I found that they grow fast while they can die easily. When they catch brown jelly disease, they die very quickly and sometimes even the whole colony while they grow quite fast and that they don't seem to demand water quality like SPS.

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.
