![]() Well I was acclimating a blue tenius that I got to the light. It was doing fine till the light went off. Afterwards, it released all its algae and its now white :|
Any clue? Will it survive? I can see one or two branches are still blue. This is what it looked before the light went out: ![]() After the light went out, it released blue mucus (the algae I guess); I took it infront of the powerhead to get the mucus off and most of it is now white (some blue is remaining at the lower branches).

![]() It won't give off blue mucus, but it will slough off it's tissue, in which case it's done. See what it looks like in morning, if it's all white, take it out and smell it. It will smell if it still has tissue, if not, no smell. If it does have tissue, it's possible for it to recover.

![]() Its VERY VERY weird. While the light was on, the coral was fine and as soon as the light went out, it started releasing mucus and became white :|

![]() Maybe turn the light back on, see if it's blue again?

![]() Well since it was releasing mucus, I cleaned it with the flow of powerhead and then turned light back on and saw most of it is white. Turned off the light again as soon as I noted that.
Bought a pink milli too and its tentacles are already out like crazy. Blue gomezi is ok I am guessing since it did not release anything. Weird SPS :|

![]() Putting them in front of power heads is probably not the best thing to do
![]() Sounds done to me.

![]() If you look at your picture you can already see the flesh peeling and receding. It already has 50% skeleton showing. The timing of the tissue releasing and the light going off was purely coincidence. That coral was allready in serious trouble.

![]() It is hard to tell from the picture but it does seem to be half blue and the other half algae covered.

![]() I had this happen to a piece last week. It shed its flesh. I moved mine to less flow and it started to come out again but I new something was wrong because polyps wernt out for two days. Check your parmeters I had a small phosphate spike.

![]() Yap checked the params (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, kh, ph, calcium) and all of them are in check. I feel like color blind when testing for phosphate but I am pretty sure its below 0.05ppm.
