Goodmorning,
I just bought two lps on Sunday, a hammer and a chalice. It did well the it ate a pretty large amount of food on Monday, but on Tuesday i noticed two white spots on edge of the coral. I also noticed a hermit crab next to it but it was scavenging on the dry rocks. I observed it on Wednesday when i came home nothing changed so i was a bit relieved. Thursday this morning the two white spots are now a white area. I did have it in the middle of my tank on a ledge, now i moved it to the bottom. Is this bleaching or something in my tank eating my hollywood stunner chalice?

Its not the hermit. I am wondering if it is because your nitrates are 0.

Can you also list your alk and calcium?
