Browning SPS

[Mebeknob]

Check out how your zoas are stretched, I would say light, your first pic shows the lack of spread, can you change the lenses to wide angle ones or physically raise the light and turn the power up a bit?
Not sure what adjustment that light has but I used Razors for years, all with wide angle lenses.

About 3 weeks ago I noticed some zoas stretching, so I started to ramp up my lights. I'm about 60% on white and 80% blue for 7 hours a day. The max spect celestial is about 10 in above water line. I'll see if I can raise it up anymore.

All your SPS are not browning, that cap is brilliant. Acros that are brown, could have come from a lower phosphate system, or may not be getting enough light in yours.

Third pic down the acro in the back looks like it is being eaten from the base up have you checked for AEFW's?

I'll have to check. I haven't seen any, but haven't been looking either.

The bottom of the Acro looks white. look for eggs gold color. You will not be able to see the flat worms they blend in well

Well I came home from a weekend trip to find my RBTA all up in the acros business. Now they both have tissue loss where they have been rubbed by the nem.
I'm thinking of breaking the acros just above the tissue loss and moving them?
Any better ideas?

So the Acro turn brown then the RBTA starts to move around, RBTA start to move when they are not happy, sounds like water or light quality problem.

It very well could be. I mean it is only a 10 gallon. The nem is new and the foot hasn't moved, the nem has just gotten bigger and bigger.

Basically the nem is mostly like this, but when it is fully open it is around the base of those acros.
So hard to say.
