Looks like a colt coral in bad shape. Hows your parameters?


Sent from inside the shark tank!

 

[Manuelnvrz]

Not good I guess, my tank is cycling this is a piece of rock I bought

[Manuelnvrz]

It's fully detached from the rock now

Not good. If it starts to dissolve thats a bad thing. In a cycling tank, thats not a good thing.

 

[Manuelnvrz]

Why's that? What happens if it dissolves


New to the Crew

 

[Reefing Madness]

Dissolving = dead. Ammonia usually kills corals. Leathers release toxins into the water when they get stressed out.

I just tested my ammonia and it barely started dropping is there any hope?

[Reefing Madness]

ya doesnt look too good.. how high is your ammonia? also tie it to a small piece of rock using a rubber band to keep it from floating away again. It also helps it to get a hold on the rock

 

[Manuelnvrz]

My ammonia just started dropping its at around .25

If you want to keep that I'd start going water changes to keep that ammonia in check.

Colts will suprise you though, Ive seen them look like a pile of mush then a month later fully open, its obviously stressed because of water parameters but it could make a rebound.
