Bird of paradise question

Backreefing · Jul 9, 2019

I have a 6 month old bird of paradise that has a few ( looks like ) dead polyps that have algae on them . See pic . Has anyone gotten this before? Any explanations . It’s got intense lighting, and strong flow , the polyps blowing back and forth. It’s under t5 /LEDS. It has grown and is branching, but IDK what’s with the spots .

Looks like at some point it may have received too much light and got burnt on those tips but was able to recover and adapt.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
