Should I be concerned about this sliver of white on these frags? I recieved them one week ago today (7 days ago, Wed 1/12). They each have a sliver of white at the base where the coral flesh meets the plug. Is this the beginning of STN?
Params:
Nitrate: 5 ppm
Phos: 0.08 ppm
Alkalinity: 8 dKH
Magnesium: 1400 ppm
Calcium: 431 ppm
Lights: 2x G5 Radion XR15 Pro - set to AB+ - corals getting around 220par right now as I slowly ramp the lights back up to around 325 PAR
Any input would be greatly appreciated. This is my second attempt at SPS corals. Last time I tried them was almost a year ago and I learned quite a bit then. But now, I feel I've got everything as it needs to be for these guys to thrive and just didn't expect to see this, if in fact it is STN...
Anyway. Thanks in advance for your opinions, considerations, advice, etc...
Happy Reefing!!
