What are these flesh wounds (?)

[w98789]

Im noticing there is a white spot, like a flesh wound, that gets larger by the day. The first spots started small on 6/23 but was getting noticeably large on 6/25. I can see it getting larger by the day..
Im assuming it's not good. But what does it mean? And why is it doing this..? The coral went in on 6/20

6/25

What kind of fish/other inhabitants do you have?
Also, what are your parameters and how old is the tank (looks awfully new).

 

[w98789]

Oh it's very new. It finished cycling around 6/15.
it has 1" goby and 2 skunk cleaners that went in on 6/23. Made sure it ammonias and nitrites were 0

 

[MaxTremors]

What kind of goby? And what is your alk, ph, phosphates, etc. Also what kind of lighting (and do you know what kind of lighting it was previously under)?

 

[w98789]

yasha goby that has just been sitting in the corner for as long as he's been in the tank. so ive also been worried about him. i dont think he's going at the coral especially since the issues started before the goby went in

I dont have a kit to test ph, phosphates, alk unfortunately. i should probably get those.

i have 2 Radion XR30

my other coral seem fine

Have you tried using a flashlight to observe things at night with the lights off?

that might be a good way to see what’s going on if it’s a pest of some sort

 

[w98789]

Hadnt thought of that, I will try that tonight.

Relax, it’s self fragging. It will continue until a piece large enough to sustain itself falls off.

May be self-propagating.
