What is this white fuzz on my coral?

[Nahdurr]

Hello!

I've noticed this white fuzz develop on my coral. It doesnt brush off. Its gradually worsened over the course of a week. I've had this coral for about 3 weeks now. It gets 8h of light daily via a Lominie light. Alk is around 10 dKH and pH is 8.4. Ammonia, nitrite are 0.

Searched the forum but no solid answers.

Pics under white light go a long way toward getting ID's for issues like this.

Do you have any test results for Calcium, Phosphate, or Nitrate?

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

the pic is too blue, can't see any white film. Please turn the blues off and leave whites only for pics

What coral?

That cyphastrea is dead, if you're talking about the skeleton, it's the internal structure of the coral. Sorry

Are you sure? I see hints of fluorescence on the left side.

Those polyps may have some tissue left on them but the rest of the colony is dead. Unfortunately I think the last spots will die back too

Unfortunately if you have to look that close to find live tissue it's over. Sorry for your loss.

the plug has a skeleton on it and you’re asking about white fuzz? When is the last time it was actually open? The fuzz could be flesh or tissue wasting away
