Corals not doing good please help

[Flippers4pups]

No other changes

Okay, yes your tank is still very young.
Most LPS do best with N03 at 5-10 ppm and P04 at .02. consistent and steady.

Bubbles need meaty foods at least once a week. Euphyilla need just light and nutrients (N03 and some P04)

Maybe, but I don't know that they would kill it. You can chip those guys off with clippers or glue each one shut with a dab of superglue.

vermetid snails can they be causing any issue with my Corals?

 

[Flippers4pups]

Vermetid snails wouldn't cause them to close up like that. Water pramameters will.

Are you dosing anything?

 

[TexasTodd]

No. How long did you cure the saltwater before doing the water change? Had the temp correct? No lighting changes?

Not dosing anything

Steady temp at 78 I buy my water at lfs store pretty much alway ya same salinity been changing water weekly sometimes every other week no light changes

 

[Maggie321]

Do you buy pre mixed? Or straight RODI? If buying RODI, do you have a way to check TDS before mixing? If buying mixed, have you checked parameters before adding to the tank?

Not that I think it's that... I agree with the direction flippers is going, and think it is a young tank and not ready for a bubble or euphillia.

Yes I check the water every time before water change I’m guessing that it might be too young still.

Also have anemone, flowerpot, and. Another torch frag that are doing good . If it doesn’t improve I’ll try to dip them in rx see if it helps

Reading along. Newbie trying to learn. Could it be the high mag? Isn't that quite high?

It is, but mine is that high. Likely from the salt mix. It hasn't had any bad effects on my tank besides shorter life span on some snails and hermits.

 

[Flippers4pups]

Could be "brown" jelly disease on the torch.

Iodine dip may help. Coral rx and others like it may not help and stress them more.

 

[Town-916]

I look into that never heard of it

I’ll try that . When I left home and look like it was doing better so I’ll take a picture once I get back to see if it’s doing any better at all
