So myself and a buddy split a jaw breaker mushroom from sexy corals a while back. Maybe a few years or more now. Anyways the tank it was in had a major outbreak of flatworms. We treated the tank with flatworms exit and followed directions and accounted for water displacement... ECT. Th following day we found 75% of the corals dead and a few that looked very close to death. The jawbreaker being one of them. It did pull through but lost all the red coloration. Now it's pretty large but solid orange. Could it of lost the zoanthella* algae with red pigment? And again this was directly from sexy coral and had several red splotches before the tank crash. I just discovered a baby and I'm hoping it will have the correct colors.
