Plate Coral--Looking rough

[Mcdy]

Over the last 24 hours, the plate coral I have has taken a nosedive. Looks like the tentacles have been cut in half in various spots and on the sides looks like the muscle tissue is starting to protrude out. Some tentacle tips were floating around this morning and just not an impressive as usual. Not very happy because yesterday it was all blown up and looking great. Yesterday we did replace the Jaebo pump with a cor15, water changed 10 gallons of water with RedSea salt (recent change), Flo sensor and that's it. The system was down for a total of 30 minutes. Did the water test this morning and all is within parameters.

Plates can be moody.

Plates can be moody.

I uploaded a better photo,...I am not sure if that is being moody or it is getting eaten alive .

Leave it. Just watch.

It looks like it's getting a lot of flow in the pics. I agree with Katrina, watch for a bit but if it continues to decline try a spot with less movement. The Cor15 might be moving more water than your old Jaebo.

Hey thanks for the reply!! Yes, she is looking much better over the last couple of days. Closed up a little bit but is recovering well. Next time I will just sit and watch!
