So it’s been awhile since i got some new lps after going after sps, although i wanted to get some movement in my newest build (5 months old). Well i got a frogspawn thats not doing so well now (not sure if its just in my tank or in the guys tank too). It was a little suspicious when i asked for photos for other corals he gave them but for this one he just assured me they are all the same, i didn't have to pick one and it would have at least 4 heads. Well that might have been a mistake since it came in with some kind of brown film on the edge of the skeletons (when receding) i saw them when i was dipping them.
Well honestly i haven't been paying attention to my frogspawn enough in the other tank and how they should be looking. So i just shrugged off the brown stuff and put it in my tank.
Water chemistry:
Dkh 7.2 (raising it up slowly)
Calcium 457
Magnesium 1350
Phos 0.04-0.07
Ph 8.2
Nitrate 25 (raised up from a bit of a die-off of cuc)
Day one the frogspawn puffed up quite a bit (not fully), day two the heads started to puff up less, day three the heads receded more and more, Day four the heads that are smaller started to do a polyp bailout and i see polyps everywhere on the sand bed, today all of the heads look very bad.
Photos:
Yesterday (blue light make the brown stuff hard to see but its between the polyps and on the heads)
Today
Do i take them out ASAP to not kill my torches or are they a gonner?
