bleached

I just got some corals in the mail from topshelfaquatics. They sent in a sheet saying their flow and lighting preferences too. Both of the corals require medium to high lighting. Anyways, I got a Christmas mirabilis and a birds nest coral, and they seem to have bleached in just 1 day from being...

Excuse the long post but I don’t understand what happened, I’ve been reefing for almost 2 years now. I research for hours daily to better my chances in this hobby. I have a waterbox frag 165.6 that’s been up for about 6 months now, I let it cycle for over a month before adding coral. A week ago...

In the beginning: My husband and I went to buy a scully and saw this sad trachyphyllia and asked what was wrong and why it looked so horrible and bleached. The shop worker said "Oh the lights are to bright in this tank for it. We are basically killing it." When looking at the whole tank my...

Hey folks, Broke down my 55 and moved all corals to my 120 about a month ago. this coral I recently noticed is not doing well (I don’t know why I didn’t catch it sooner). I ran two ai 16 HD’s, on a beefed up saxby preset on my 55. Run two ai 16’s and two ai 32’s at the standard levels of saxby...

So I had a tiny rock flower anemone, and it did well in my 2 to 3 month old tank, and it grew quickly and found a spot. I started adjusting the flow in the tank to better help the other corals needs, and it moved a bit, but then started moving a lot, and then it sort of disappeared into the rock...

I purchased live rock and unknowingly it came with a baby bubble tip nem. My tank is about a week old and not established at all. The nem isn’t doing so well and only comes out when the lights are off sometimes. What do i do?

Hi everyone Had a huge temp increase during the first heat wave. Temp went from 78 to 84.5 in a day or 2. I have fans now at least! Question is, what are the chances of recovery on these guys? They still have some polyp extension, but I'm not sure if STN or just bleaching.

What bta is this??

Hey all, I have this green bubble tip nem that used to be doing great until I gave it to a buddy who put it with nems that attacked it through bacterial warfare and he must've had the lights on very bright too because he came back to me freaking out about them nem. Pics attached are before...

My water paramters are normal my fish are doing fine and some of my soft corals are doing good but some are not. My zoas wont open and its been 3 weeks since they closed, A small branching hammer I have wont open and My Purple Chalice coral is beginning to bleach

Bleaching rock? I went to Lowe’s picked up closest thing I thought to being basic bleach EXCEPT it was splashless. Bleach used to be basic and contain 8% Sodium Hypochlorite. Now it’s been watered down in some cases to 3 percent and has all this “extra” stuff in it. Scents, thickening...

Background Classification All of the hard corals fall under the order, Scleractinia, which falls under the subclass Hexacorallia. Hexacorallia is under the class, Anthozoa, within the phylum, Cnidaria. So, when we talk about SPS coral, some people say, "small polyp stony" coral, while others...

I got a couple of new acros over the weekend. This tank has been setup for little over a year. As far as SPS goes I have a ORA red planet which is encrusting nicely, 2 different types of poccis which are not growing but haven't died in last 3 months, couple of monti caps which are doing fine...

I won this frag at our local club meeting and it was a dark tan color with green eyes. Now the tan part has totally turned white, the eyes are still green though. I started it on the sandbed and moved it up about 1/3 of the way. Its getting moderate flow. SG 1.026 Temp 78 Nitrates ~1, Phosphates...
