Hi,
I've been having trouble with slow tissue necrossis on my Acros for a few months time now. At first I thought it was because of a temporary Alk swing and/or too low nutrition levels. But I corrected both of this without getting the STN to stop.
It's only Acropras that are affected. LPS and other SPS like Porites and Stylophora look fine. I see areas that look like bite marks but I've dipped a few corals without finding any flatworms.
I now got a phonescope (like a microscope on the phone) and were able to see something moving in areas that are currently bleached/loosing tissue. What do you think this is? Is it the main reason for the STN or just something that attacks corals that are weakend by something else?
