Hi all,
I've have this Lovely orange Fungia Plate coral for a couple weeks now. It's been absolutely fine until I noticed the past few days it's not expanding, it's still been fleshy but not big but way more rippled in appearance
This morning I've noticed wat looks like skeleton showing which I know probably isn't a great sign. I've included a photo with flash it looks far worse because I'm not using fancy lenses so it just looks brown ha.
Im slightly confused because everyone else seems happy and healthy / torch / octospawn/ GSP/ australian war coral mushrooms . I also have a rainbow monti frag which I didn't really want but was gifted that is thriving!
1.025 salinity
26 degrees temp
7.83ph this morning naturally fluctuates up to around 8.08 apex
0 Ammonia salifert
0 nitrite salifert
2-5ppm nitrate salifert
7.8dkh before dosing average around 8dkh. Hanna
450dkh calcium salifert
1380 ppm magnesium salifert
0 phosphates usually ( 0.04) hanna wonder if this could cause an issue? I have been generous with extra food to get this up.
Naturally I've not fed him, but he does sit under the feeding portal and get whatever's on the menu occasionally. But he fills back up pretty quick in that instance initially I thought that was what had happened but this has been a good 3 days. I did a 10% WC yesterday.
Running prime 16hd custom settings .the first week it went great and then just suddenly changed. I did wonder if maybe the hermit crab could be annoying it, by walking over it?
10% water changes weekly on a waterbox cube 10.
Tank has been running for 3 months with live stock 4 without. I have 2 black storm clowns as well.
Any help would be really appreciated I love the colours on this guy and would hate to loose him.
Hopefully I've included everything needed but please let me know if you need any more information!
Many thanks,
Jordan
