I took a lot of live rock out and rearranged the tank for the eels and the grouper. So the Xenia was moved. But it never likes being moved and I think at least one rock is going to die. I put it back where I had it but its still in distress. The other one that I've had longer might recover. I had this issue before with Bubble tip anemones. They actually all died the last time I moved them. This after a long period of time doing well. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or ideas for when a problem like this occurs? It seems to me unless I do the exactly correct thing that the coral will melt. I was gonna put the worse one in my groupers cave but I don't want to stress him because he is prone to flukes if he gets too stressed.
Can electrical current cause this? I just found a heater that the heater sheath separated and voltage was going right into the water.
