Florida Ricordea Help!

[Squeven]

Last night all my coral were looking normal and happy. This morning my Florida Ricordea was brown around the mouth. Any ideas what is happening?

Prameters:
Ammonia 0.0
Nitrite 0.0
Nitrate 0.0
Calcium 380
Salinity 1.025
Ph 8.3
Kh 9.8
Temperature 78F

Sorry about photo quality.

Hard call based on the photo.

My suggestion is to just leave it alone as long as it doesn't get any worse. It may be similar to what anemones do in pushing their insides out as a way to 'flush' their gut clean. It may be back to 'normal' in a day or three.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Looks like it is back to normal.
Is there such thing as new reefer panic syndrome?

Yup especially with Ricordias haha

There sure is. That's where the popular saying came from...
