[merfury1989]

Hi all, need help with something.

My blasto is dying from left side. It took around 1 week to go from full bloom to this.

Basically as you can see it's colour is turning brown from left side.

My other blasto (right side one) is doing find.

what is your live stock?

 

[merfury1989]

2 clownfish
1 blue damsel
1 lawnmower blenny
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 scopas tang

 

[Stephen8169301]

It looks picked at and it could be the tang

Or the cleaner shrimp? Do u keep them fed?

 

[merfury1989]

I actually overfeed (twice a day) with mixture of both frozen and dry food.

Also strange I never see them hang out in that region, they occupy the opposite side of the tank.

Can this blasto recover?

How much does the tang get? And how much does cleaner shrimp get? I target feed my cleaner. Reason why I ask is because clowns can be pigs

Fish do different things when we are not watching they know when we are around like my YWG for instance every time I come home he is all the way at the other side of the tank the moment I step foot into the room he will swim as fast as he can back across the tank back under his rock untill i leave again

Can this blasto recover?

It still has flesh it won’t hurt to try do you spot feed your corals?

I had an acan that was picked at by a filefish flipped underneath a rock it was a sure goner but I gave it a chance and it’s now the size of a golf ball

just give it a chance maybe put a mesh container around it to protect it during healing

Which mesh container would you recommend? Any link on Amazon?

I do spot feed corals reef roid + Red Sea AB+ Twice a week, and Fauna Marin MinS every other day (Broadcast).

with lps it’s important to feed meatier foods like mysis every 2-3 days
Look up coral cage on Amazon

did you dip the frag when you got it? Did you check very close with a magnifying glass, for an aptaisia, or some kind of worm or pest on the frag?

Weird that the deterioration is coming from that one angle only and growing outwards.

I had this for about 4 months, it only started doing this now.

What ended up happening to our Blasto. Mine is dying as well and all other corals are fine!

Put it in the shade. Blasto are low light corals.
