Purple Short tenacle

[horstman2]

My purple short tenacle plate coral shipped in from Dr. Foster about a month ago. As expected when he arrived the stress had caused color lose. He never has regained it and in fact has lost most all of it. I would think he was dieing but other wise appears in fine shape. I am new so any thoughts would be grealy apprieccated. i do supplemant with calcuim, idione etc...I just began directly feeding him krill which he loves!!! Thanks to all!!

Are you able to test for Iodine? If not, then stop dosing. You could be overdosing. What are your water parameters at now?

Everything tested in parametars but the Iodine(just got a iodine test kit). It barely, if at all shows up. I am using Kent Marine
concentrated calcium and dosing per directions.....thanks again and sorry I can't spell!!!

If its eating keep feeding it, but make sure to space out the feedings over a few days, you dont have to feed plates, just lighting alone should keep them alive
