Hey Everyone!
New tank (Reefer 425xl, 2 Months in with dry rocks and KZ’s Zeovit method) with most parameters shakily in “normal” (sal 35.8ppm @26.2C/79-ish-F, pH 7.95-8.05, dKH 7.0-7.5, nitrates currently 5ppm and phosphates spiking up at 0.2ppm)
Tank is extremely lightly stocked - currently there are 2 clownfish and a mix of soft, LPS and some Monti cap.
2 issues have popped up:
- one Frogspawn w 2 heads is producing black debris that is sticking to it, although the mouths are staying closed and they mostly have pretty good extension. This has been going on for the last 5 days or so - I’ve been blowing it away with a Pipette. As of today the Frogspawn is pulling in a bit but not exposing any skeleton. Is this just happy coral poop or something s
- a second frogspawn frag underneath this one keeps throwing out sweeper tentacles in its direction. They touch the other one but don’t stick and they polyps don’t appear to react to each other. Is this normal behavior? I though Frogspawn wasn’t so aggressive…
Pics below under cold white light - thanks for your input!
