I have recently gotten my mom involved in keeping a saltwater aquarium. For christmas this year I got her a 55gal setup. She has probably about 50lbs of live rock, several corals that I propagated and gave to her. Everything in the tank looks great and her levels have been 0 since day 1. She has a DSB that was seeded from my established tank and for lighting a 175 Metal Halide Pendant and NO Flourescents for Actinic.
On a trip to the LFS last month she was sold a Tounge Coral. For the last month the tounge coral has been doing 'good' it has been eating regularly. I have only seen the coral 1 time (about a week ago) and in all outward appearance it seemed very healthy. Full polyp extension and the coral was 'elongated'.
Yesterday she called me and said the coral had developed an 'air bubble' on one end. I don't have much experience with the tounge coral but this doesn't seem normal to me. She lives about 3hrs away from me so I got her to take some pics of the coral and email them to me so I could post them here. I would really appreciate any advice that someone could give. Her pics are kinda fuzzy but you can see the 'bubble'.
Thanks to anyone who has any input.
