SPS--problem

[Mcdy]

Any ideas here??

 

[HB AL]

Give it an iodine then place it on sand with moderate flow..

 

[Mcdy]

Is that what they call a coral dip??

 

[UCF Alum]

AEFW possibly. Do you see any on the frag? You can dip with Seachem reef dip although if that’s what it is you need to treat the tank.

That’s not a monti or acro.. it’s a stylocoeniella. When’s the last time you saw any PE? and judging by how beige it is you more then likely your nutrients are to low and compounded with to much light.

Ok,...yeah I am starting to notice that some things like light and some creatures don't. It's a challenge figuring this stuff out. I won 25 frags in a raffle and it had taken some research to figure out what and how to care for them.

What makes you say that? It’s not even an acro.

This is interesting because last night I was shining a flashlight in the tank and I saw "a black bug" looking creature that crawled across the rocks and out of the light. It almost looked like a small version of a beetle but black. I tried getting a pick but I moved to slow.

Not even a beetle,...maybe even a longer version of a lady bug, just black.

Those are my stylos. Probably getting 120 to 150 par. And shaded. They do not like light

Really,....so place them lo and in the shade, under a rock??

 

[Joedubyk]

Definitely bottom to mid part of your tank. Not sure of your lighting setup. Good flow, too

Because I had them eat my stylo. Those are clean cut lines on his frag. That does not appear to be tissue receding, rather something eating away “cleanly” at it.

So you had acropora eating flatworms infect your stylocenia? I have never seen evidence of or heard of a pest eating any coral “cleanly”, a clean line to me means necrosis or the coral has been stung or damaged.

Well, ya heard it here first!
Maybe I’m that one in a million who’s had AEFW infect my stylo’s.

And the worms are away a clean line on your stylos?
