1. What would kill off a torch head like in the picture? This is the second one I’ve had this happen to. There’s a joker torch next to it and a bubble tip anemone a little further above it. I’ll put my fish stock list below but I don’t think any of the fish would cause it except MAYBE my coral beauty but I haven’t seen it nipping at any corals.
2. A portion of my chaeto is starting to turn white. I have a pretty good light on it and it’s been growing massively filling in the whole refugium until recently I noticed the die off. I have 3 bubble tip anemones in a clear plastic container floating in the refugium at the moment until I find a home for them but they aren’t physically touching the chaeto, would it be possible for them to kill it? Second I’ve started mixing in kalkwasser (1/2 spoon per 1 gallon of water) into my ATO container - the ATO goes into the return pump chamber and the return pump has a T fitting on it to pump water into the display and the refugium. The kalkwasser is obviously mixed into the ATO water so I can’t see this being an issue right? Or is it possible it’s affecting the chaeto?
