NEED HELP STAT!

Alright, to give you a better idea of where this is going, lets get a quick equipment run down out of the way. I knew going into this that I wanted a stacked tank system so that it would not take up much space.

The second branch of the coral was still fully inflated and happy as usual. But one was simply missing. Only ...

Setup:
My tank is a 72-gallon Oceanic bowfront. Inside the stand is a 29-gallon glass tank with a skimmer section (ASM G3 with recirc mod) and a return-pump section. Lighting is provided by a 4x54W T5 ...
