This was the worst coral. And believe it or not the gonis haven’t even flinchedOk. This is a slight emergency and I’m driving while writing this to the o my store I can get saltwater from.
Went to add a rock that had use macro e 400 on to the tank.
Not sure what actually caused the curls to flip their shiitake mushrooms. Could’ve been the rock right or it could’ve been the fact that I got a very large colony of palys and smashed them.
I didn’t quite notice the corals right away because I was having to do other things in the middle, trying to put the rock in. But when I did notice, the first thing I noticed was, I had a lot of my corals and showing. The worst was my largest bower . Which you see in the picture below. So I’m gonna do as much of a water change as I can with as much water as I can get from Petco. I pulled the palys completely. The damaged ones. The picture below is of the palys, but not the same grouping that got messed up
I also pulled that Bower. Not sure if I should keep it or not. If you see some of those pictures, I took those after I popped it off its rock some kind of sponge or something? I rinsed some carbon out and actually threw a bag in the top of the tank. Hopefully help mitigate whatever the heck is going on. Comments or suggestions besides the water change
Water change and carbon ,carbon pads ? about all you can do IMO...This was the worst coral. And believe it or not the gonis haven’t even flinched
But the hammers, which were looking better after my last ordeal. Are not looking good now I don’t think it’s anything they can’t recover from as long as I can rectify the issue quickly.
Do you think I should keep that bower or toss it?Water change and carbon ,carbon pads ? about all you can do IMO...
I wish I knew the cause…was it the rock of the paly? I grabbed carbon filter pads as wellWater change and carbon ,carbon pads ? about all you can do IMO...
see how it is when you get back home ,to me looks mad ,throwing m filaments, not jellied ,tough corals...Do you think I should keep that bower or toss it?
I’ll stick it back in the tank I moved the other bowers to a lower flow area. Just about everything in the tank was throwing filimentssee how it is when you get back home ,to me looks mad ,throwing m filaments, not jellied ,tough corals...
So overall the rock wasn’t in the tank long.maybe 20 minutes.I'd say that there's a potential the rock could have leached something. Even reef safe things can leach out impurities that can foul a tank if curing isn't complete. I like to let everything dry for 48 hours or so and then do a freshwater soak and watch the pH. If it stays stable for a day or two, then I'll add it. If it doesn't stay stable I'll change the water and soak some more. But that's because I use Portland Cement which leaches alkalinity.
A lot of us forget coral are toxic, or pretend, Coral are not toxic to each other.This was the worst coral. And believe it or not the gonis haven’t even flinched
