Fudsey's 135.4 Box of Water

[Fudsey]

Same thing happened to @Lasse too....

 

[Katrina71]

I have heard they eventually just die. I really don't know.

 

[PanchoG]

This is what happened to the other 2 heads on the lower left and you can see the 3rd head just receding in...

Can you cut it to remove all the receded tissue and skeleton?

That worked for my walled hammer.

 

[Lasse]

Exactly the same with mine (as your photo in post 2539) but I suspect my filefish. I took it out yesterday - the coral he/she picked looks better but the torch still have problems. All my euphyllia have been a little "down" - today (with exception of my torch) they looks better - more expanded. I have reacted to my ICP report and have dose according to recommendations. @Sallstrom will kick my butt because I as always does more than one thing at the same time, hence - it is difficult to isolate the real reason. At this website you can calculate your salinity with help of the ICP tests. My show up to be around 36 psu (36 per mille). I have adjust this. I also discover that the Triton DOC test can be very helpful. It shows up that I probably had a huge imbalance between inorganic nitrogen and organic nitrogen as proteins/amino acids. I skim very dry and after this I change to a more wet skimming.

One question - do you have any cyanobacteria mats for the moment - the same question to @Katrina71 and @Lowell Lemon . A long shot

Sincerely Lasse

I have one that had a polyp just recede and disappear. Must be the season.

No. None. My torch is fine too.

 

[Fudsey]

No cyano at all in my tank but my Nitrates are HIGH ~50 so that might be the issue as well. I am going to set up my sulfur denitrator as soon as I get a min to clean it

 

[Raege]

Any leathers nearby? I read somewhere that sinularia and hammers don’t get along

 

[Fudsey]

I do have a leather from @Scurvy but it is about a foot away and has been in the tank for a while with the hammer.

 

[Fudsey]

Been in there for about 250 days together....

 

[Raege]

From what I remember it’s not stingers but a chemical release from the leather that messes em up. Doesn’t seem likely a foot away even with the right flow to be a factor but ? Mysteries of the tank some never solved

 

[Katrina71]

My hammer had always been with a leather.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm not sure I believe that about leather in a mixed reef. Jmo

 

[Raege]

I believe everything the internet does not lie! Lol but seriously It could be an issue with a very specific type and specific condition that affected the leather that then defended itself and effected the hammer. So many unknowns this hobby will drive me nuts. I like concrete answers to be able to avoid and of fix issues. Line up all suspects no matter how unlikely till we get a confession ;-)

 

[Lasse]

No leather in my tank.

Sincerely Lasse

 

[Flippers4pups]

Somebody say leather?

 

[Katrina71]

Somebody say leather?

I'll need a moment.

 

[PanchoG]

No leather in my tank either.

 

[Crabby48]

No leather in my tank.
Sincerely Lasse

I said that to. Then I see my LFS will have leather with his expensive corals and now I have a toadstool

Somebody say leather?

What a beauty!

 

[Katrina71]

@Flippers4pups that is a dream coral!
