Hey y'all, how you been?
This Fungia (I call him Blob) looked fine when I first took over this aquarium (long story short, I take care of frag tanks for research), until about a month in, when his tissue started to recede around the edges.
Only then did I really research plate corals, and realized that he was never really in good health, nor treated correctly (his tissue was always tight against the skeleton, and the guy before me never bothered feeding him anything big)
I started to feed him frozen white shrimp and krill, put him in some low flow, and he began to swell up, extend his tentacles, and even spawned a little MiniBlob secondary mouth!
However the tissue recession, though stopped, hasn't healed - he still hasn't grown over the exposed skeleton.
I had him in bright light and just today moved him to a lower light area after reading in an article that that's what they prefer.
Can anyone recommend anything else that might give him an extra boost?
(in the pic he is covered by a plexiglass tube and lid a friend made for me, so the shrimp don't eat his food right out of his mouth, the little buggers..)
