Well, I think I owe the Starfish an apology. I believe the Galaxea was just dying and the star was doing what it does.
Now, for the cause of death, thoughts?
1) I put a dying chalice from another reefers tank in there near it, perhaps a bacteria or something from it infected it?
2) The power outage two Mondays ago, tank was down for about 24 hrs, and it got pretty cool???
3) Poor Cal/Alk levels, will admit, I have not been dosing, just water changes???
4) Could it be anything else?
It just came on all of a sudden...looked great 2 days ago, noticed about 10% declining yesterday evening, this morning about 40% decline, got home from work about 90% dead/dying...
I fragged it into 4 pieces, one about 3" and 3 - 1" frags...hopefully one makes it.
This is my 1st coral death in 1.5 years of this tank being online and populated...makes me feel sick, I hate stuff dying in my care, even simple creatures...ugh...
