Hello, everyone! So I know this question may seem stupid, but has anyone had any issues with zooplankton having a negative effect on their coral?
I mostly use reef roids and phytoplankton but occasionally will use zooplankton. However, I've started to notice a pattern.. when I spot feed zooplankton (Seachem), some of my fleshier corals (acans, candy cane, lythophyllon) will look like they're deteriorating... like in under an hour. This doesn't happen any other time that I feed with reef roids or phytoplankton. So until I figure this out, I'm cutting this out of the diet but I literally just spot fed my coral and some of them look absolutely horrible. My candy cane was vibrant green in the middle before feeding and all of that has disintegrated now. I took some pictures but I can't get a good focus.. I'll attach them anyway but if anyone has any insight, let me know.
PH 8.2
Salinity 1.24
Nitrates 10ppm
Nitrites 0ppm
