Well idk if its getting to much light because when the lights go off the polyps are tucked in but the walls of flesh go up ill get you a top down picture.New head isn’t an issue.
The picture looks blurry but the polyp extension looks poorly, but I can’t tell if it’s going to mush up and go Brown Jelly Disease?
Here’s a link for treatment options if that happens because if it happens in your tank then all the other lps will be at risk.
Experimenting with in-tank antibiotic treatments for Brown Jelly Disease
Brown Jelly Disease (BJD) is an issue many reefers have run into. Like most coral diseases, the pathogen causing BJD has not been conclusively determined. Here I will share some observations and test results supporting the idea that its caused by a bacterial pathogen, and so may be treatable...www.reef2reef.com
Hopefully it’s not, we need a clear picture of the head from the top down in white light to see what is happening.
If it looks like most of the other ones I think it’s fine. Problem with BJD is when it comes you have a day or two before it is too late to treat the sick head. And once it starts killing it seems to move on to the next and the next, so I was asking for pictures to see that you don’t have it, hopefully. Not asking could waste valuable time if you do, so I ask just to make sure you don’t.Well idk if its getting to much light because when the lights go off the polyps are tucked in but the walls of flesh go up ill get you a top down picture.
As this piece is within rocks, can be as simp[le as lack of flow. I see recession of tissue and not brown jelly disease. They require moderate flow and light and feedings of mysis shrimp in lieu of powdered foods such as reef roids. Assure even though others are looking good that phos levels have not become high
Recently rearranged my rockwork so about a week ago but the previous rockwork he was the same. Also I dont have test kits right now but when i did do a 10 gal water change he did start to open more.How long have you had it there? Did it ever fully extend? What par is it under? What par was it under in the store? What is you PO4 and nitrate?
He does get flow when he is open. Something i forgot to mention was when i did a 10 gallon water change he did open way more than before just not to his former glory like before ill add a picture from when i use to have a 20 gal tank.As this piece is within rocks, can be as simp[le as lack of flow.

which may be an indicator of elevated nitrate or phos with a response to water changeHe does get flow when he is open.

Think i should do another one right away or wait till i usually do em which is every weekwhich may be an indicator of elevated nitrate or phos with a response to water change
I think you need to pick up good test kits like Salifert. Will make troubleshooting much easier.Think i should do another one right away or wait till i usually do em which is every week
Yeah i was gonna buy some just waiting till my next paycheck is salifert better than api?I think you need to pick up good test kits like Salifert. Will make troubleshooting much easier.
Accurate test kits while many argue Api are and water changes will be your best recourse to assure good water qualityThink i should do another one right away or wait till i usually do em which is every week
Alright thanks for your help.Accurate test kits while many argue Api are and water changes will be your best recourse to assure good water quality
