Help! SPS (pink milipora) has white patches in the middle!
- Thread starter kimacom
- Start date
there you are.
it is growing good. just having white patches in the middle of the colony.
it might be burnt by LED?
recently i reduce white 60% to 40%
or due to low nutrients? used to have 0 phos.
no pest observed.
Alk 8, ca 440, mg 1400, ph 8, salinity 1.026, temp 79 been over 1year
using reef crystal salt.(is it cause because this salt has 13 alk)
any ideas?

I am colorblind, and I know that doesnt help, but could you get a couple different pictures up? I cannot tell too much detail on where spots are you are talking about.

I am having the same issues with my 14"x8" pink Mille colony. I notice that it is only bleaching right under the LED fixture, and outside the fixtures foot print where the par numbers aren't as high it is just fine and growing rapidly. So I reduced the intensity by 30%, we'll see what happens... This particular coral has had a hard time adjusting to LEDs, all of my other Milles and SPS have acclimated to the new light and seems to be loving it.

This could be unrelated: I had white spots on a digi and did a dip in cold tank water (refrigerated) to do a pest check. I found monti eating nudibranch. The nudi are neat at .1" to 1/8" but do a number on the coral. My control is a coral dip with manual removal of the egg colonies.

What LED fixture are you using ?
Reporting the process!
after reducing the intensity from 60% to 35% white, 80% to 70% RB for 2weeks,
the pink millie white spots are getting a little pinkish, yay!
so the problem was the high led intensity imo.
btw i found another white spot getting bigger at the sunset millie.
i'll post pic later..

Have you tried blowing onto it with a turkey baster?
thanks, allmost
i have some crabs they were coming with other sps colonies, looks like emerald crab
on that millie white spot does not have any bite marks or eggs of AEFW
i have not blown them, i will try tonight.
that white spot still has some polyps and extended. just body color is getting whiter..
and one more thing, front side base has some rtn, the other side base are growing and making new bases, is that ok? means one side dying, one side new growth, weird..
actually, i'm new to sps, so keep learning these spieces..

Btw, anyone knows ID or name of this coral?

Been looking for that top one for a while. It looks like a nasuta
