So this started appearing only on the digitatas a bit ago. My red Monti cap is fine and a bubble digi is fine as well. It has only appeared on this piece and a couple other digitata near the sand bed. The stuff doesn't move and goes away after a couple days. The tissue then heals back over again. I'm stumped on what to do any help or insight will be appreciated

A friend of mine had a very similar issue on one of his acro colonies... He limited it down to a possibility of an infection/bacteria.. Not to sure what it could be but I would try and look into the possibility of it being a bacteria of some sort..

If you have an instagram shoot him a message his profile name is Northwest_Nano ! He is a really helpful reefer and has a stunning waterbox sps dominate system! Best of luck!

The first thought I had was coral warfare. Do you have corals (LPS are known for this) close by that could be putting out sweeper tentacles at night, stinging this coral?

So near that piece I have a garf bonsai and spongodes that are constantly killing each other and sliming. Could this be a possible culprit? All my LPS are on the bottom and pretty well separated.
