Corals closing/ melting

[jwilkey2468]

I glued my corals down with gorilla super glue gel and since then they have closed up. I haven’t messed with the flow and just did a regular water change. There has been no swings in parameters at all. Should I take them off the rock and dip all of them? Or any other suggestions?

I have attached what it looks like now vs a week ago

Super glue not good for softies. Great for SPS and LPS.

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

it looks like a new tank? Can you advise more details, what kind of lighting and flow, what are the water parameters, how long has the tank been up?

 

[Uncle99]

How long no change in parameters and what are there levels?
How much white do they get?

I’d do nothing to stress them out further.

The 10 gal tank has been running for 4 months now for lighting I have a Orbit Marine Current Loop Light set to run 30%blue 15% white from 1-11pm with ramp up and ramp down cycles. I run a Current eFlux pump (660GPH) that I run at 30% in that set position in the image. Temp:76F salinity:32 (I have an auto top off) PH: 7.8 Ammonia:.25 Nitrite:0 Nitrate:10. I feed 2x a week frozen shrimp and small scoop reef roids. I do water changes 20% every 2-3 weeks cuz Zoas like dirtier water. I also have some snails, few hermit crabs, blood shrimp and a Cardinal fish in there.

They get 30% blue 15% white I posted the parameters above. Would the whites have any effect on them?

I feel like as soon as I stuck them to the rock they closed up and kinda withered away

Nano tanks need weekly water changes to maintain proper parameters especially new nano tanks. I doubt that is sufficient light too. Salinity is low also and that alone could shock stress corals.

I might try turning up the lights, 30% sounds pretty low, not much else to explain the melting IMO

Mine like white.
