We have all heard about and some have experienced corals having chemical warfare on each other. I am not talking about the white filaments reaching out and stinging or devouring a coral. I am refering to releasing chemicals into the water column. For example a toadstool leather being introduced into a tank and shortly afterwards other corals start to look unhealthy - like a hammer or an SPS.
Now that you hopefully understand what I am refering to I am curious if anyone has experienced anything like this from a aussie duncan? More specifically a wild piece - not the ora's that are being propagated. I am asking because 2 friends of mine have both purchased muti-head pieces of a duncan colony that appears to have been a wild caught colony not a prop. colony. Both of there tanks have been having problems with other corasl receeding - one tank has lost a bunch of LPS and the other tank has lost some SPS. Both have spent weeks trying diff things, testing water changes, stray voltage you name it and they have tried it. This is the one thing both have in common. It may be a long shot but both are losing some incredible corals over it. Just thought I would see what ya'll thought...
