Coral dying

[Perthegallon]

All my corals are doing fine other then this one he has just been getting worse and worse for weeks as others are doing great and growing healthy my levels are very good at phosphate 0.1 calc 450 alk 9.0 and temp 98.5 with mag at 1350 please help he is close to the bottom of the tank gets normal lighting and low amounts of food

 

[Perthegallon]

He also isn’t a new add ever has been in the system for good amount of time and still takes food if given but just looks bad during the day

 

[Perthegallon]

Anyone please?

 

[CoralClasher]

Temp is a little high

 

[Kryptonian]

Do you have a nipping fish? That would be my first guess with a lot of tissue missing on the edges. Best thing you can do is change it's position and see if he starts healing.

Just going to assume 98.5 was 78.5 lol

Whenever my angels pick out their next victim, they nip away at the edges and leave corals looking very similar to yours.

 

[CoralClasher]

Yep try moving him to low flow

 

[CoralClasher]

How old is the tank? What’s your No3?

I’m thinking it might be the clowns then

Will do

Mine kit says low below 5 ppm but I’m convinced it could be higher if waiting for the new Hanna checker but I run a fuge that keeps everything low

Your tank is 88.5 degrees? Ya, that’s a problem

Has to be 78 cuz 88 would kill anything in a few hours

 

[Gernader]

Yes, 88 degrees is too high. I prefer to have around 78 to 80 degrees.

Not necessarily, if it was a gradual increase then things could survive but will end end up dead for sure eventually.
