Okay, how can you tell the difference in RTN or if the tissue at the base of a coral is simply dying naturally from being smothered by it's own new growth?
I have a decent sized acro colony (larger than a softball) which has been doing great for years. As of a year or so ago, I noticed that the base was dying back a little because the new growth had completely blocked out its light and most of its flow. This has to occur in the wild as well so I thought nothing of it.
But I just noticed that a whole branch just RTNd in the last few days. It is lower on the colony and not near the new growth. Im not seeing any RTN on any other corals.
Should I be concerned? Any advice? Do you need to know any more information? Here is a link to a thread with a lot more info on the setup. ---> My 50 Cube
