Candy canes

[lm1976w]

What has happend to my candy canes the colour seems to be melting ?? Also going white

 

[VintageReefer]

They are decaying, and the white is the skeleton becoming exposed as the flesh shrinks and melts away

Something is wrong with the placement (flow, par) or conditions in the water parameter, or a irritant such as tiny pest, fish nipping, etc

What sort of PAR are they in?

I have found they like low light.

They are about half way up in full light!! Do you think they are too far gone??

What light are you using, and what are the levels set to

you want mine? They grow in literally zero light

is there any water movement in the tank? We really need all the details to help you, we are not in your home so we can't see the tank so we need you to describe it to us, we can't guess!

I have a 75l nano tank I have attach all my parameters can’t seem to keep anything alive at the min. I had a couple of clown fish they died within 3 days . My salanity was abit low but sorted that now and I’m just using the lights that came with the tank which I will find out what that are ,

The pH seems a bit low, which is a bit weird given the alk level.

Plus ammonia should be undetectable but could be just the tester

Light has no sense with them ! Mine under PAR 550, growing from 2 heads frag, 2 years old.

It does not appear your tank is cycled. How long has it been setup ?
