Picture sucks and with the lack of info provided its anyone's guess really. If it were me I would dip it and see what if anything comes off. Lugols if you have it can help with some pests and also bacteria issues. You can also flip him when the lights go out to see if anythings living under there that's not supposed to be. If your water comes back good and you don't have M.E.N. then there's a good chance it's just a bacteria issue.Does anyone know whats going on with my montipora? Friday it was fine and i noticed it turning white on monday. I havnt gotten my water tested in about a month but my other corals r fine. I have an orphek atlantik v4 compact on slow aclimation. Since i got the coral 6 months ago its been growing perfectly fine. I hope its not bleaching or have an infection. Tia!
Water test is coming sunday. When i dip it do i just take the whole rock and put it in a separate tank with water from my display? And also for how long? Sorry ive never had this issue so dipping is all new to me
I guess if it's attached to the rock then yes you can. You will probably see some beneficial stuff floating as well to so don't freak out just pods and what not. More important than the time is to get the right amount of iodine to water so not to kill the monti. I usually don't dip anything for more than 5 minutes myself as a small amount of water can change temp really quick and cause more damage. If I'm not mistaken lugols calls for 40 drops to 1 gallon so you can do the math on that.
Okay. Thanks man appreciate it! Ill do it tomorrow!
