Ran into an issue Sunday night that appears to have bleached another one of my Montis.
I was re-arranging the tank, in particular my very large Frogspawn as it had been crowding a Digita (and bleaching it). I wasn't really paying attention and as I was reaching into the tank I split my knuckle on a MH reflector (sure I'm not the first!) I quickly set the Frogspawn back into the tank without really paying much attention as I needed to address my other issue.
It took about 10-15 minutes to control the bleeding and get some superglue in place to close it back up before I could return to the tank.
Apparantly, the Frogspawn had been partially laying on a green encrusting Monti that I have but I didn't notice anything immediately. The frogspawn had been out of the water prior, was slimy and probably not too happy with the situation!
I noticed yesterday morning (Monday, next morning) that the corner of the Monti had bleached. I noticed last night that a larger area had bleached (guessing 10% of a smaller colony). The rest of it looks fine with good coloration and polyp extension.
Does this sound feasible?
Does the Frogspawn pack that much of a punch?
In that short of time?
Anything I need to do?
Thanks for any input!
