polyp bail out

I've had this waving hand anthelia colony for less than a year. Started from 5 polyps now it's roughly the size of a football. But this week I noticed polyps have been dropping from the main colony and floating around the tank. These polyps aren't dead they'll still reattach to rocks. But what...

Good Morning Reefers, I was wondering if I could get some help. My tank was seemingly thriving and for about 3 weeks it has taken a downward turn. My tank has suffered from low nutrients so I’ve had to dose nitrates and phosphates for quite some time now. Tank is about 3 yrs old. Recently I...

We had a polyp bail out of our torch at the weekend. I managed to find the head in the sand and I scooped it up and put it in an acclimation box. Then like Houdini it decided to escape through the holes and back into the tank! I scooped it up again and tried to put it on some rock in there...

Have lost a hammer and kryptonite coral to polyp bailout in the past 2-3 months. Now noticing my Duncan is starting to retract… I pulled it to move to my hospital tank today and had a look at it and looks to have something growing on it (see yellow covering body in picture). anyone seen this...

I just had a hammer coral bailout it’s only head and I’m so sad. I realized I placed it in too high of a flow area and when I went to move it l, the polyp flew off. my parameters are: Salinity: 1.025 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0.10 KH: 8.2 Temp: 78.9 PH: 8.2 ca: 380 Mg: 1440 It’s a 40...

Hello, I've had a wall hammer one month. It's been doing fine and the rest of the tank but suddenly my wall is closed up on one end and he is spewing brown stringy stuff. My parameters are ammonia 0, nitrite 0, Nitrate 20, alk 8.2, PH 8.2, phosphates 0.16, salinity 35 ppt. He's in low flow and...

So did a WC last night and my hammer decided to bail out this morning. I've had horrible luck with hammers specifically, but have 4 torches and 3 frogspawns in a 45g tank with no issues that have all been doing great. Anyway, that's a whole other thing. I woke up to find my hammer bailed and...

Hi All. I have been having some issues with my 120 gallon reef. Current corals are Blastos, Acans, Scolys, Trachys, Lobos, Flower Rock Nem, Torches (And Hammers that died) I know that I have had some issues with nutrients (Big Spike) but it was been a ton better as you can see below. Current...

Hello! I am new to the hobby. I unfortunately had an alkalinity spike and believe I caused my branching hammer to bailout. I currently have my water parameters under control. My hammer had one last piece of flesh remaining. I read in another forum to put it in a shot glass with sand and see if...

Hi recently today I got a pink frogspawn and I might of dipped it too aggressively by using a turkey Bastet and blasting it cause a lot of stuff was coming out. I also rinsed it 2 times in salt water 1st time was with main display water then with new saltwater. A small part of it seems to be...

Hello! I've got an elegance in December, it was looking very good and has been doing good so far in the tank. However, last weeks I started to notice, it is starting to detach from the skeleton base, at the sides. You can see the skeleton in the sides and looks like every day is a bit more...

Hi, I have a large 300 gallon mixed reef aquarium, with the following parameters: temp between 76-78, pH between 7.88 and 8.01, and alk around 9.1. I just did some service to my sump, and I noticed that two hose clamps I had attached to my return pump, which are about 2 years old, were covered...

this past week both my torches have lost a head and I have 2 free floating heads, 1 from each torch. They look viable and quite intact, but I don't know why they have done this. Water parameters are all normal, maybe calcium is a little low at 360-380. Only other change is my temp has gone down...
