Platygyra Brain White Growths

[Twink_w_a_Reef]

My fav platygyra brain has formed these weird white growths on it. It was fine and normal four hours ago, I put some aiptasia X on some palys and came back to find this singular brain doing this. Everything else is fine. I tried to blow the substance off but it seems to be a part of the coral? Some brains have had a tiny bit of that when they were hungry in my experience but never to this degree. Does anyone know what’s going on? A little freaked out because she is my favorite

Are you talking about the feeder tentacles? Little clear tubes with white tips?

Not the feeder tentacles the white substance all over the flesh, it’s normally green and blue

Mucus net?

Mucus net?

I don’t believe so it’s not removable

The other platygyra is doing it now too but it started with jsut feeder tentacles

mesenterial filaments maybe?

mesenterial filaments maybe?

Maybe so, it’s really confusing. I’m not sure why it’s doing it. Why both are doing it

mesenterial filaments sometimes pop through the tissue when corals are stressed.

Could it have been from the aiptasia x that didn’t even touch it?

WC time

 

[Twink_w_a_Reef]

Did a four gallon water change, it’s a twenty gallon. Also changed filter. It’s the next morning they’re still ticked

if it didn't touch the coral, then probably not. What are your parameters?

I’m bringing home a test kit from work to see, I don’t test normally because I don’t like to chase parameters but now that something is off I’m going to. But my birdsnest is ticked off now too. I’ll update parameters when I’m home

 

[Twink_w_a_Reef]

Now my birdsnest has tissue loss. what the heck is happening.

 

[Twink_w_a_Reef]

Parameters are fine, it had to have been somehow the aiptasia X.

Trying to cool ninety degree water to do yet another WC

what are your specific parameters?

I'm curious how much Aiptasia-X was used?

That can cause an Alkalinity spike.
