I have a decent sized colony of pink birdsnest that has grown great in my system for about a year. I've fragged this colony multiple times without issue. I've had a few frags of this birdsnest growing out in my system for a few months. Just a few weeks ago the mother colony and frags all started getting bleached areas either at the tips or a little further down in the middle of the branches.
I have been cutting those sections off to prevent further bleaching but then new spots pop up within a few days. I have tried placing the frags in different areas of the tank but I get the same results.
I have quite a few acros montis and even a pro ape birdsnest that are healthy and no problems.
My params are
Ca 400
Alk 10
Mg 1300
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
I never really test ph
I manually dose 2 part nightly.
Considering that they bleaching is not really from the bottom up but mainly in the middle, does this sound like some sort of pest? I thought most pests disliked birdsnest and would go for the acros.
