Hi all,
Yesterday morning when I left for work my waving hand coral looked like this:
When I came home from work it looked like this:
I did a complete round of chemical tests as soon as I saw this:
NO3 = 0
ALK = 4.46
DKH = 12.5
Cal = 440
Ammo = 0
NO2 = 0
Phos = 0
PH = 8.0
Salt = 1.027
There is also a second piece of this same coral in the tank. In a different location, but doing totally fine. All the other corals in the tank are fine, just not this one.
The one thing with this coral is that I have had several Bumble bee snail residing in it for several weeks now. The coral had not shown any signs of stress before this. Could this have had anything to do with this?
Is there any chance that this coral can make a come back, or should I remove it from the tank? More importantly, does anyone have any ideas what could have caused something like this to have happened, and to have done so as fast as it did (basically in the 9 Hrs I was at work).
Thanks
Martin
