Dead Lord

[Strykur]

Posted in another forum but got no replies...

To make a long story short...

I had a small lord frag go from healthy and eating to a skeleton in 2 days. The only thing I can think of is it was to close to a Hammer and got stung, but it was a good 5 inches away. Is it possible that it declined that fast from a fight?

Water checks out perfect and all other critters and corals are doing great.

I am kinda new to the reef scene so I want to be sure I am not missing something.

Thanks
Scott

I don't have a hammer or even know if they have sweepers, but to go from perfectly healthy to absent without any other corals doing badly sure sounds like a stinging episode.

Read the title as "dear lord"

Hammer can get some nasty sweepers.. I pinch off sweepers from my colony all the time.

if the other stuff in your tank is doing well, it was either aggression or an accident (salt creep or something fell on it, etc).

sorry about your loss
