Can anyone tell me what’s up with my frogspawn it recently started doing this after a week of high salinity of 36ppm I was out of town for work and couldn’t change the water until last Wednesday to start bringing the salinity down. Any idea what the bulge is all other corals seem fine. Could it be my lighting attached is pics of the coral my basic parameters and lighting schedule 24 gallon aio cube. Thanks for the help all you pros out there. Ammonia=0 phosphate=0.04 calcium=450ppm mag is 1350

35ppt is the usual recommended range so 36ppt is only a tad high but not likely to cause any issues unless it was a sudden rise from lower levels. Even then most corals are pretty adaptable. What was it prior to 36 ppt (not ppm)?
Do you have an ATO to top up water and keep the salinity stable?
 
Yes thanks shirak I have a tunze nano ato and it did get up to 38 ppt sorry yes not parts per million like I said before sorry for the yup and attached is a graph of my salinity disregard my max of 49 I put my probe in my mix and mixed a little to much salt so had to drop it with some rodi

It hasn’t happened to me yet, but from what I understand from other threads, that bubble means it’s splitting. Someone should confirm soon, but this looks like a good thing.

when mine split they never look like that, not saying it couldn’t be that though.

just call it a bounce hammer and list it for 10k
