Hi All,
I got this slipper/tongue coral late last Dec. Immediately after getting it (same day), I noticed 2 small tears (2-4 mm diameter) or spots of exposed skeleton in the middle of the coral (not on the edge). Since Dec, the size of the spots have slowly grown. Coral opens fully every day, and exhibits feeding (sometimes balloons late at night). I coral dipped with Brightwell Aquatics Medicoral when I got it and then again today. Can I do anything else to stop the deterioration? I've read about sealing with epoxy or superglue to stop 'white Syndromes', but I'm not sure if this would apply in this situation. The entire coral is 8'' long, so these are some small spots.
I fed with oyster eggs for the first couple of weeks, I've moved to a combo of coral vibrancy, cyclopeeze, and brine.
tank parms:
190g, LEDs, 0 nitrate, unreadable/very low phosphate, 420 CA, 3.2 mq/l ALK, 8.2 pH. All parms taken daily by 2 test kits each. salinity 34
