Dying?

[AnthonyDe]

:bounce2:Just noticed this and was wondering what was going on.

The wound is on the bottom left

Watch for something picking on it. Also, it looks a little bleached. Make sure you are aclimating it to the light.

 

[AnthonyDe]

Its been in there for a couple months but I'll move it down. And I looked for hours, day/night and never saw anything. What sort of thing am I looking for? By the way there is now a second hole in it similar to this one

Button Corals like very low light and very low flow. Is the flow to strong in that area and tore a little tissue?

 

[AnthonyDe]

It origionally was in a higher flow but that was very noticable because only one side of it would inflate. It has been doing fine in this spot for awhile, completely inflating and everything until now. I will definately move it to a lower light. Would it be fine to temporarily put it on the sand bed? Thats where I have my candy canes because they started to bleach as well. What do you think could be picking at it?

 

[cjk76]

hmmm... Thats strange. Did you just change the lights? I'm surprised it's bleached after being there that long.

I don't have enough experience to tell you one way or another, but all my corals have been on the sand for at least a little bit.

No these lights have been on the same schedule for over a month. I don't understand why it would get these holes in it... Could it be the peppermint shrimp? They are all I've added in the past coup months
