Good Morning fellow reefers. I got my first acro Mar 22. Short story I hope. I have birdsnest, pocillipora, stylophora and Forestfire Digi that are doing great. Mushrooms, zoas, hammers, frogspaws are all doing great. I found a purple bonsai through a local reefer and added it to my tank. I acclimated it to temp and salinity before adding it to my display (took about 20 minutes to get it matched because it was already very close in the container).
I have included a pic of it the day I got it, March 22, and a picture from this morning, March 31. Please bear with me as my coral photography skills are lacking. It has started to lose tissue from the bottom up. It is sitting at about 250 PAR under QMAVEN ii LEDs. It has strong intermittent flow from the Gyre which is set at 60/60 OGC setting. There are no other corals close to it. I also posted my parameters from March 20 and March 28.
I have not changed anything in the tank since it was added and it is the only coral that is showing issues. The area that is losing tissue is the "underside" where it shadows itself. The back of the coral is fine all the way to the base.
