Need advices

[Omelette_du_Fromage]

Dear All,

I would like to know what you think about my Duncan. Half of it deploys polyps and the other is retracted.

I give it a DIP last week-end without result. I saw no parasites on the body. All others LPS are fluffy.
Before it was in very good shape.

Thank you

Could the shrimp be bothering it?

No it was like this before the shrimps. And they do not go on it.

Water parameters :

Tropic Marin tests :
kH : 9
pH : 8.4
No3 : 3
Po4 : 0.4

Milwaukee salinity tester : 34 ppt

Temp : 26°C - 78.8 °F

Other LPS in the tank to illustrate le "fluffy" state :

I think the Duncan have a parasite in its branches. Perhaps I have to split it in two parts tot avoid more contamination.

Any other advices ? Maybe I will try a FWD. At this point nothing to loose : it seems dying day after day :(

Thx

How long have your phosphates been so high ?

 

[Omelette_du_Fromage]

Always be like this. I installed a chaetomorpha reactor last week to help.

And for that to happen ( to reduce your phosphates) you need more nitrates.

Hello,

I installed a new media reactor with 200gr of Fauna Marin UltraPhos. Waiting the PO4 to drop.

I finally cut the Duncan and remove the bad (dead ?) part. Keeping the one with poping polyps. Hope it will be healthy soon and recover well.

Thanks for your attention :)
