Finger Leather Coral Dying?
Hi all,
New to the forum. I have a 60 Gallon corner aquarium with a 20 gallon sump and 50 pounds of live rock. I have 2 clowns, 1 atlantic blue tang, 2 yellow tail damsels and an assortment of inverts. I have had a large piece of finger leather coral in the tank for the past 4 months and it has grown and even moved off of the fragment of live rock to attach itself to the larger piece of rock. I came home from a weekend away and found it to be limp and starting to change from the pinkish hue to a green hue. I've also noticed that where it is attached to the live rock seems to be a little less solid than before. My water parameters are good: Salinity: 1.026 Nitrate: 10 PPM Nitrite: 0 Phosphate: 0.10 Ammonia: 0 PH 7.8 Temperature: 82 F I've attached a couple of pictures to better show the issue. I've read in a few places that this is part of the natural molting process but I am not sure. Has anyone come across this before? Thanks for the help1 |
