Frogspawn peeling or receding?

[Paul31733]

Hey everybody!
I got a frogspawn from an LFS I have never used before due to a Christmas gift card.
It is always puffy and out. It is only retracted right now due to the lights being out.
Is this maybe too much flow? Or is this a pest? I dip all my corals in coral Rx before I use them.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul.

This is the area I am speaking of.

Yes looks like it has lost a little tissue. The rest of the coral looks ok. I would keep an eye on it and see if it is stopped or getting worse. How long have you had it?

Tank parameters? etc

I have only had this since boxing day.
Tank is 9 months old. Says 0 phosphate but I dose to keep it at 0.03 to 0.05 just happened to be 0 this day.
I have turned down the flow since I have no sps.. any other tips appreciated.
Thanks.

Those are vermited snails and other "pests" at the skeletal base. They extend and then irritate the Coral. I would remove the frag, and using a blade carefully scrape all those red cone shape bumps with the tiny holes off and those white vein like snails without touching the white flesh part of the coral. Dip again, preferably in a Potassium Iodide based dip like Lugol's solution. Rinse well in some tank water in a separate container. When placing back in the tank make sure the effected part of the coral (exposed white flesh ) gets low to medium flow and not any direct flow as that will most certainly result in polyp bailout .

Thanks I will do this

You are most Welcome. And if it so happens that you should ever end up with a Vermitted snail infestation and its not possible to remove the corals or rock work to manually remove then, remember that, Bumble bee snails are Vermitted snail assassins ;)
