I bought this scoly 2 weeks ago and 2 days in it was picked at by either my halloween hermit or emerald crab. Its been over a week and it does not seem to be improving and in fact worse in my opinion. My parameters are
Sg: 1.025
Ph 8.0
Ammonia:0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates: 20
Calcium: 400ppm
Mag:1170
Alk: 7.7dkh
Temp: 78 degrees
Lights are AI prime
Attached are photos of my scoly digressing
This scoly continues inflate the rest of its body and demonstrate a feeding response nightly, I currently feed it every 3rd day with a mix of mysis and reef roids which it takes happily.
No other corals in tank showing distress like this. I have dipped in coral rx twice several days apart and have elevated it slightly off sand to prevent any further damage from my nusance inverts. It is in a low flow part of my tank as well. Please if anyone has suggestions I am all ears, as I am very distraught over this.
Thank you
