Elegance Coral Question -

[J.D.]

I added an Elegance to an established system about 3 weeks ago. It been doing awesome, no ECS signs, it was fragged from an established tank raised colony and fully healed when it arrived. Then a few days ago I noticed the tentacles are beginning to develop spots and discoloration streaks within the tentacle. Anyone have any similar experience and can provide some insight on causes / resolutions.

Tank is established, all other fleshy LPS are doing very well.

Only tank parameter that are off are 0 Phosphates & 2.5 Nitrate (I have an Algae Reactor running Chaeto too efficiently / working on resolving that).

Input appreciated!

Looks like loss of zooxanthellae. Moderate flow and medium light required
They also require feedings of small plankton, mysis or chopped krill
