polyp bailout

Over the past few weeks I've been been battling something causing poor health in some of my corals. Some have died, some are bleaching and some have bailout. I'll start from the beginning. Somehow we had a Salinity spike (regardless of having the ato). Got that level back down to 1.025. Gave it...

Hello guys, I had an issue last night, that wave maker that was switched off due to being too strong and was about to be replaced excitedly came on ( stupid auto program) , And literally blew the flesh off the plate coral. I found the skeleton and the polyp, put the skeleton in the breeder box...

Hey everyone, My trachy is seemingly receding on one side even though it has been doing well for quite some time now. I don’t have any shrimp in the tank and don’t know why it would bail out on this side like this. Does anyone know why this could be happening? Thank you

Just started on the top one about two days ago. Did a water change last Sunday using a different salt, but didn’t affect my overall parameters too much. Previously both were doing perfectly fine, and have been for months on end. Top one had always had a massive “bubble” where multiple polyps...

Hi everyone, Two days ago I noticed my hammer coral curled up, almost no polyp extension and really looking not that fluffy/happy... The next morning the situation was unchanged but I noticed some of the polyps had let go, or were letting go at the moment. Sorry for the bad quality picture, my...

So did a WC last night and my hammer decided to bail out this morning. I've had horrible luck with hammers specifically, but have 4 torches and 3 frogspawns in a 45g tank with no issues that have all been doing great. Anyway, that's a whole other thing. I woke up to find my hammer bailed and...

Hi All. I have been having some issues with my 120 gallon reef. Current corals are Blastos, Acans, Scolys, Trachys, Lobos, Flower Rock Nem, Torches (And Hammers that died) I know that I have had some issues with nutrients (Big Spike) but it was been a ton better as you can see below. Current...

Hello, my name is Hakim, i'm from Indonesia and i'm 12 years old. So, here's the thing, for a couple days now, one of my torch coral colony has a polyp (with 2 mouths, so, 2 polyps?) That is deflating a bit too much. Usually my coral colonies kind of "deflate" when the lights are out, but not...

Hi everyone, I noticed this afternoon that my hammer is going through something messed up. Not sure what it happening. I sometimes target feed BRS reef chili, and also have been using Aminos from Brightwell. My tank is fallow to eliminate Ich. I'm testing my parameters now. My first that I...

Hi all, Would someone please help me identify what could have possibly caused my Frogspawn to bailout. I thought that everything seemed to be pretty healthy but I'll include some pictures of the rest of the tank and corals for reference. One head ejected 8/7 and one last night/this am 8/10...

So looking to get some help or ideas from you smart people out there. I’m about 7 months into the hobby and I’m at a research dead end. My frogspawn/octospawn (what ever you want to call it) is, from what I can tell happy. It gets nice and fluffy every day. It’s heads have split from 2 to now...

Hi recently today I got a pink frogspawn and I might of dipped it too aggressively by using a turkey Bastet and blasting it cause a lot of stuff was coming out. I also rinsed it 2 times in salt water 1st time was with main display water then with new saltwater. A small part of it seems to be...

Hello! I've got an elegance in December, it was looking very good and has been doing good so far in the tank. However, last weeks I started to notice, it is starting to detach from the skeleton base, at the sides. You can see the skeleton in the sides and looks like every day is a bit more...

Hi, I have a large 300 gallon mixed reef aquarium, with the following parameters: temp between 76-78, pH between 7.88 and 8.01, and alk around 9.1. I just did some service to my sump, and I noticed that two hose clamps I had attached to my return pump, which are about 2 years old, were covered...

Hey all, so my original frogspawn was my first coral, about 4 months ago it started to not extend fully and led to all heads bailing out, could never figure out the reason. So about one month ago I got another one, 2 weeks in all was well, as of a week ago it started to not extend and one has...
