Help!

What is happening to my frogspawn?!?!

That is strange in that only part of the polyp is ripped off. It doesn't look like recession but damage from either high flow or something tearing the flesh off. Not a euphyllia expert but typically the whole polyp reratcts and recedes or it bails all together.

While this shouldn't be the case, that starry blenny looks a little guilty .

You have a fair amount of algae growing suggesting high nutrients. I assume the tank is new but cycled?

 

[AnthonyDe]

The tank is about 5 months old now. That's the only spot in it with algae that I just can't seem to get rid of =/. And it has been fine in this flow for about a month now, do you think I should lower the flow? And the blenny always looks guilty!

If everything is ok I say the head is beggining to split they get weird when they do this.are all water specs in line?what corals are near it.do you run carbon?I really think its splitting cause the other head is fine the split all the time when well fed and happy that's how the branching ones grow.did you se a bubble in the polyp by the mouth? I goes away but that is a sure sign of it splitting.

Params are good. I don't run carbon but I run a phosban reactor in my refugium. There is nothing directly near it. I did however find an aptasia about 6 inches away. Do the sweeper tentacles normally come out during a split? I've never seen any of my lps' split before

That polyp has since died. The entire fleshy part just sort of peeled away from the calcareous base. Does anyone know what can cause this? I do not want to lose another.
