Coral ok?

[DinoS]

Is this Coral ok, it just seem to drop the front side all of a sudden.

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

It looks like it's struggling. Is that an Acan?

 

[Cary Meredith]

What do you have for fish, I've had acan's picked on by Bicolor Angel an looked similar.

 

[DinoS]

I believe so, I fed it some food and the front just dropped as I was looking at it

If you don't have a bully, try getting him to feed on some meaty things around dusk.
If you can't elicit his tentacles, roe has a great feeding response for most corals

Yellow tank stary blend and a clown, I watched it drop after I fed it

Ok, another question, what are your parameters, I was going off gut judgement of what I have personally seen, but there could be other issues as well.

That's some nice bubble algae you have there...I'll trade you a few Aiptasia :)

Hahahahahaha you weren't supposed to see that!
I'm working on it lolol the good thing is that's a flat ledge rock so not many nooks it can get into yet...
You keep your aiptasia! I got rid of it about 8 months ago with nothing new popping up...

Your nitrates and phosphates are a little high but I've ran higher with them before so that's not too concerning. Is he fluffy at all? Before eating?

Yes they r fluffy

 

[ahiggins]

Yes they r fluffy

Then you're all good :) it's normal for them to de-fluff close to lights out or after eating.

Yeah I'm getting a gfo/carbon reactor to get this lowered and also to hopefully help with the algea
