This particular coral has been STN’ing about 65 days now. It’s over 2 years old and was one of the tester SPS I put into the reefer 250 along with a stylo back in 2019.
The STN doesn’t look like anything I’m familiar with. You can see in the second picture where it appears the outer layer of the skin has peeled away exposing a lower layer. I’m not saying there are multiple layers, just explaining what it looks like to me.
I took the frag and shaken it up in water to see if any flatworms fall off, but no avail.
I’ve also never seen STN take this long with only a golf ball size frag.
There are two other frags that are almost completely dead. They are at about 30 days now and they are 1/4 the size of this one.
The 50ish other frags are not showing any signs of irritant. I can’t find any pests like flatworms or red bugs and the STN is progressing so slowly.
If anyone has any ideas or sees anything in particular worth looking at I’d love to hear it as I doubt once these three frags are done that they will be the last.
