colt coral

[kris6983]

I just recently had a colt coral shrivvle up and die on me. I did all of the tests on the water and no problems there. One day last week it started to look bad, all of the other corals in the tank have no signs of issues. Does anyone know why this might happen?

how long did u have it? did you move it or change anything in the tank?

 

[kris6983]

I fragged it from a larger colt I would say I had it for a good three years

 

[ALTI]

any new additions to the tank?

 

[kris6983]

Nothing has changed in the tank except weekly water changes. Nothing is even close to cause chemical warfare

could be some type of chemical warfare. they dont have to be close to do damage. corals can release some pretty harsh toxins into the water.

I had my colt suddenly shrivel up and shrink seemingly due to low alkalinity. It got to about 1/3 of its old size before I got the Alk fixed, and now it's growing again. (I had another thread going on in here about it a couple of weeks back) Did you check the alk and calcium? Others in that thread said they had the same problem. Here's the link:
