I’ve had my scoly for a few years and dealt with some issues about a year and a half ago with receding tissue and mouth issues.
Was able to catch the culprit with a Aiptasia file fish that had been removed. Since then it’s been doing great.
About a month or two ago I noticed the gaping mout come back. The scoly is still opening up and inflating well. The tissue looks great.. except around the mouth.
Any ideas as to what could be going on?
Alk: 10.5
pH: 8.0-8.2
Ca: 400
Nitrate: 17.5
Phosphate: 0.10
My clowns host in the torch next to it and I have noticed them hosting this scoly occasionally but not frequently, this is a pretty recent thing. I’m thinking this might have something to do with it as I noticed this behavior around the same time as the mouth issues.
Other inhabitants:
Pyramid butterfly
Lyretail Anthias
Solon wrasse
Ruby wrasse
Fire fish
Yellow tang
Mandarin
Cleaner shrimp
Haven’t noticed anyone picking at it, but it’s always a possibility.
Other scolys are doing well, would appreciate any feedback.
