I've caught my long spine urchin also eating my setosa. I agree the eaten places look scraped and begin to grow back over in less than a week.Do you have an urchin? Mine gets like that sometimes, and I suspect my long spine urchins are responsible for it. Eventually, the coral regrows over the white spots, only for it to happen again in about another month or so. The white areas always look scraped to me (hence my suspicions about urchins!)
Thats what happened before with my tux but I only have 4 hermits, an orchid dotty, and as of 3h go 5 snailsDo you have an urchin?

It doesn't look like it. The backsides dead but thats cause it was covered in gha before.I've caught my long spine urchin also eating my setosa. I agree the eaten places look scraped and begin to grow back over in less than a week.
White/burned tips can be a sign of high alkalinity and low nutrients. Your parameters look fine to me though. Is it turning white at the base as well?
Do you see any pests on it? I'd google Montipora eating nudibranchs and see if you can spot any.It doesn't look like it. The backsides dead but thats cause it was covered in gha before.
I don't see any. All my other montis seem fine and I dipped before. Maybe there were eggs on it? The rainbowloom and toxic slimer are fine and all the other montis seem fine. Just this one partDo you see any pests on it? I'd google Montipora eating nudibranchs and see if you can spot any.
Hmm, interesting. You could try dipping again or wait to see if the coral begins to improve. In my experience, my setosa shows damage fairly easily if it is bumped or scraped but usually heals over within a couple of days.I don't see any. All my other montis seem fine and I dipped before.

It looks somewhat worse today. I don't think its rtn but idHmm, interesting. You could try dipping again or wait to see if the coral begins to improve. In my experience, my setosa shows damage fairly easily if it is bumped or scraped but usually heals over within a couple of days.
How is it looking today? The pictures do look like RTN unfortunately. I've never had much luck stopping RTN.It looks like its getting worse
It was doing perfectly fine. I think it could of been from the store since one area was completely dead. Think its too late for this piece?How is it looking today? The pictures do look like RTN unfortunately. I've never had much luck stopping RTN.
Doesn't look like it's going to survive. Maybe try to dip it in iodine but with my experience, once it gets to this point they don't survive.It looks like its getting worse
I'm gonna redip the montis. The cap is acting weird and the setosa along with the digis. The acros are fine. Id only get a 1.5cm frag but ill try to if its doing OK. It has medium flow and about 175 par atm. The acros are getting 210 peak and the montis are getting between 150 to 250. I'm slowly ramping up lightHow high in the tank is it? Mine likes lower light. Also, Setosa are pretty hardy. If there's no sign of critters like Monti Eating Nudis I'd move it lower in the tank. Mine likes partial shade and decent flow.
This one was dying in my last tank. I moved it over to my new tank and it started healing and has almost regrown over all the dead areas. Don't toss it. You can always frag the dead portions off to stop any spread of infection if it's RTN.
