Broken German Blue Digitata

[chenk69]

I found some branches of my german blue digidata broken. That is not the first time. Main colony and the broken branches seem very healthy. There are only two big fish and there are not too big, 1 blue tang and 1 foxface. Can this be caused by lack of any mineral ? My water parameters are

kh 7,5
ca 415
mg 1350
Phosphate 0,05
Nitrate 20
Temperature 27 C

Digi's are just super-brittle. Not much you can do about it. In fact, if you look at them wrong they'll just snap right off

Agreed, when my digi's grow too long a fish bumps into them and break them off. I usually take the broken pieces and glue them back into the base of the digi giving it a fuller look.

your blue tang might be sleeping inside it, breaking off branches.

for it to grow thicker, increase flow, and decrease Po4. I changed my MP40 to a MP60, and my blue digi that was right infront of it grows much thicker now, I use Zeo, and it grows differently than the ones in my other tanks.

Maybe this is how they reproduce: Fraging by their own

Such a brittle coral best of luck
