Tissue loss on birdsnest

[dmh41532]

Yesterday I picked up a birdsnest frag. I just noticed a few tiny patches of tissue loss. Polyps are extended though it still looks a little brown. Trying to up load a photo

Parameters. Your rocks show signs of no3 and po4 problems.

Is it possible that you didn't notice the bare patches were there before you bought it? If you're certain it happened in your tank, there are a lot of plausible scenarios, stress from acclimation, poor water quality, poor water chemistry...

Rapid tissue necrosis or RTN, like mentioned above check Parameters.

Agree to checking the water quality as well. Hope you find out what's wrong soon.

I believe it was like this at the store. I checked at at the store so did an employee, but since it is so small we probably just missed it. I noticed it shortly after I put it in. The tissue loss hasn't gotten worse, that I am certain of. Yes there was a nitrate and posphate issue. Something went wrong with my skimmer and is now fixed so the small cyano/algae problem is dying off. Phosphate is still slightly above zero, mag is a little low at 1200, calcium is 420. Nitrate is zero as well as nitrite and ammonia.

I have the same problem before and the solution is on my case wc cuz my phosphate at that time was high

Something else to check is stray voltage... I have seen at least two cases where birdsnest RTN'd due to a pump giving off stray voltage...

Salinity too that kill one of my fire digi
