Corral not opening this morning

[EugeneVan]

So you have alot going on here. First off, your birdsnest coral is bleaching. If you had a nem get destroyed, it has now destroyed alot of your micro fauna in the tank. Nems deteriorate super fast. You should do a 50% water change and run some carbon before it kills the rest of the life in the tank. Your tank is super clean, this leads me to believe its not very old yet and needs to mature a little more before you decide to go into alot of corals. I would also suggest researching everything you put in this tank heavily, not even gonna start on the powder blue in there.

Research every single thing you are going to do to this tank in the future, every fish, coral, bottled chemical, food, salt type, heater type, even your filter media.

RESEARCH EVERYTHING

I hope the OP quarantine his power blue tang. 45 gal for PB is too small

I can't tell if this is a meme or not yet.

Full tank shot please with parameters.

Yes I understand this a few months in a clean tank will do the pbt better then in a sick dying tank fyi I'm upgrading to a 120 gallon with in a month or two

 

[Dfrashid]

What.

Pretty much my thoughts I'm new to this hobby and like every one I'll make mistakes which is why I'm hear asking for advice ect every anything you can share I'd highly appreciate thank you!

I see recession and RTN. Stress is generally at play here and can be due to a sudden change, event or atmospheric.
Temperature often plays a role as well as elevated salinity. Temperature stress can increase chances of coral disease development in several ways by creating stress in the coral zooxanthellae and decreasing its resistance to infection

Some possible triggers of infection are:
- Alkalinity spike
- Temperature spike
- Salinity spike
- Low dissolved oxygen
- Poor water quality related with phosphate levels up to 5 ppm
- Change in water flow
- Additions of sand
- Changes in brand of salt
- Bad test kits giving faulty results
- Levels of minor elements such as Iodine, Potassium, Strontium
- Light intensity
- - Changes in water flow
- Addition of new corals
- - Pesticides
- Airborne Contaminants or sprays

I built this tank wanting to see how I'd injoy the hobby before I go buy a $15k tank set up and I must admit I love it and it's just a matter of time before I get 120+ tank

The one sps I know my tank isn't ready for it after I brought it home should I remove it?

Did you see the pictures of the whole tank?

Lower it into path of moderate flow. Its losing tissue but not really infecting anything

What is RTN? thank you

 

[Rob Biederman]

Should I get more fyi I'm a clean freak

You have a very young tank to have SPS and nems in it in my opinion. This is a hobby of patience. You want the great tank it takes a lot more time than just waiting out the nitrogen cycle. Ok so a nem got shredded in a powerhead. Do a water change and make sure you have carbon running. Those thing are very toxic when they die. This could be the cause of the coral not opening. If you plan on keeping nems get a guard for your powerheads. Maybe the corals will recover in that young of a tank I wouldn't count on it although there is always hope. I would wait more time before adding coral. Your tank will go through some ugliness, and sometimes you have to just ride that out.

Rapid Tissue Necrosis basically your coral is losing it's tissue

Oh ok thank you so I moved it lower but I was told it needs alot of light?

We need water parameters as well.
The move to low light is to help the coral heal. When a coral is having an issue it is one of the first things to do.

how often and what test kits are you using for ALK CALC and Mag. Especially ALK
