OPEN BRAIN CORAL DYING??

notmyname · Sep 3, 2020

Is my coral dying? Flesh appears to be receding from the base and parts are changing to brown. 2 weeks ago everything appeared normal, it was eating and bloating regularly.

My parameters are spot on except for stupidly high phosphate which I'm currently dropping in a controlled manner to avoid shocking the tank.

From where I'm sitting, it's not going well and won't end well if I can't intervene.

Does anyone have suggestions?

It's not dead yet but doesn't look happy. What is your Po4 number at? Did it shoot up quickly?

Po4 is sitting at 1 currently, I didn't check it for a few weeks because I've been so busy and I trusted the tank to remain relatively stable while I was being lazy. Using a GFO product in my media reactor to slowly bring the Po4 back to acceptable levels.

Is there anything I can use to help promote recovery?
