Hi everyone, I got this Kenya tree coral a few months ago, it was looking good for a while but just about two weeks ago it’s starting to not do so well. The polyps are semi-retracted and it’s branches aren’t sticking up straight anymore. All my other corals are doing well including a separate Kenya tree frag, zoanthids, green star polyps, and an alveopora coral. I got a few theories of why this is happening. My biggest one is I got a small flame angelfish last week, which are known for occasionally nipping at corals. Me personally, I have not seen it once nip at any of my corals since I’ve had it. I also have an emerald crab which I have seen before clawing at the corals, but I haven’t seen it do that in a while either. I don’t think this has anything to do with parameters as they have been fairly stable for some time. But so far I’ve measured
Nitrate: 5 ppm
Nitrite/Ammonia/Phosphate: 0 ppm
Alkalinity: 8.5 dkh
Calcium: 1390
Salinity: 1.024
Ph: 8.1
If anyone could give me some ideas for what’s causing this issue that would be great.
