Sadly I'm not a biologist, but I'd def say yes. In fact I have two acros one Potato chip coral, frogspawn and candy and and that bubble coral sps lps etc etc , in there still and a bunch of other stuff. All but one acro are fine
What element is effecting just these is something I'll be trying to figure out for a long time.
Hahaha.Send a sample to Triton!!!!! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
It's the other elements used to make the alloy I belive that can cause the Problembs. It could be (i guess) too high a concentration in that small a vol of water of he iron too I suppose.@Randy Holmes-Farley wrote an article about iron helping macro algae.
Oh ouch.Witnessing the result isn't near as bad once you know what caused it. Finding the dang problem in the first place is the hard part. I wonder what your iron levels are and how long that's been in there.
Along the same line I caught the kids going to town with Lysol air spray where I could smell it on another floor of the house a few weeks ago. After flipping out and the wife looking at me like I have a problem, I let her know she can expect thousands to be instantly removed from our bank account, as I would be replacing everything that died in one sitting. Maybe then the pain could also sink into her head too. Not the first time I've been though that. Wife/glade oil burning plug ins.
Wow Salty.. sorry to see this. Such nice colonies. I'm glad you were able to find the culprit.
True story!Culprit = Salty + Razor?
Hey Freddie!! No sweat man and thanks. It just a learning curve man. If nothing ever happen we'd never know anything.@saltyfilmfolks
Salty,
Late to the game but... I'm sorry about your corals.
We've all been there one way or the other and hope you get it resolved, soon.
Freddie
Reminds me of the chasing coral documentary . Good work finding the blade! That could've been a reason to tear down the tank if you hadn't.So.....I am a twisted individual. I Just couldn't help it.
I've never lost a large colony , and I couldn't leave the crabs homeless.
So I've been observing the decay.
It lost the polyps. Went white. Ok nbd. But after several weeks , it began to to do this. As if deeper in skeleton something took time to decay or dissolve. I had assumed all the soft flesh would have dissolved anger a week or two. I'm kids guessing maybe this is the softer minerals dissolving from the skeleton and feeding whatever the heck this is.
Warning graphic imagery.
In belive so. There were a couple of other things going on (new light even with 50% reduction in overall intensity. But it was a cronic thing already.Oh man! Dude, why have I not seen this thread before?! What a bummer! Was this all caused by a domino effect of the utility knife blade?
