Hi Everyone,
I have an elegance coral which has been in my tank for roughly 6 months, after the first month it had slowly started to show signs of Elegance Coral Syndrome.
Started with the swelling, tentacles stopped extending, lots of mucus discharge and eventually started to shrink rapidly and completely lost one of its heads.
I had it quarantined to monitor when I discovered an acro crab was also living in the coral, thinking this might have been the issue all along I removed the crab and the coral kind of bounced back.
Today the coral has completely detached from its base and is not looking too good but is still showing small signs of life.
Any advice would help! (still fairly new to this)
Parameters:
Temp. 26 degrees
pH 8.1
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0.5 ppm
Ca 400 ppm
Mg 1300 ppm
