RTN!! $@#&!!
 
Well Crap!!!


Looks like there is a section at the base of my "branching confer echinopora" that is RTN-ing...... I'm keeping an eye on it at the moment and if it get is any bigger I will frag off the branches and sacrifice the rest of the coral.....there's no way I'm risking letting this spread to any of my other SPS's (there finally starting to look really good)

Here's what I'm dealing with.....any suggestions would be appreciated

the rest of the coral seems to be happy

The coralline directly in front of it looks sick too. Is there a bright light shining in that spot?

Maybe it's the pic, but all the SPS look white...?

Still haven't quite got the camera settings right.....but this gives you a more natural looking color

Hard to tell, but they look almost completely bleached.

I can't get the camera set just right on the color.....they are quite light, and have been growing faster under the new lights.....I just assumed that was the color they should be as they were really browning out under my old fixtures.

I changed out 2 current 36" 4-bulb fixtures in Dec to a 48" Tech 8 bulb fixture.
