White spots on Favia.

It's becoming more common in the caribian sea. Elk horn which is the populated coral there is being wiped out from this

I would take it out and dip it. A uv sterilizer may help to get rid of free floating Bacteria. I read that there is benifical bacteria that will out compete this strain for resources. But it's still in the lab and the elimination process is long. You could try loading up on benifical suplemts but its a shot in the dark.

Another reason to wash our hands before dipping them in the water

Im going to dip it today in Coral RX but upon closer inspection and some reading, It is not White Pox.
Denny helped me out too, it is bleaching. My Reverse Superman Monti was also showing signs of it.

I've reduced my Light further it is down to 40% at 12 inches above the tank. so That will help.

I probably wash my hands almost as much as a Doctor. I have many pets and 3 kids in a small house. I am always washing my hands and dishes. I get sore skin under my rings and Bracelets because my hands are always wet.

Thank you Titus for your help. I did learn something new.

That's a relief.

Maybe I read it wrong but I wanted to clarify when nick (Titus99) said human waste he wasn't saying you added it, its happening in the oceans because of humans dumping waste.

[magikof7]

I knew he wasn't saying it was me that added it.
I was just saying that I wash my hands a lot in response to his comment that we should wash our hands before sticking them in our tanks.

according to the store I got them from his are not wild corals.

It is a terrible thing humans are doing to our planet.

I house mostly sps. And when I started my radion up I started around 30%. And increased 5% a week. It took a bit but no bleaching. If your only keeping lps. You could probably stay at your current level and in time not more than 60%. The coral will tell you what they like
