Fox coral ok?

[Funtrader]

Hmmm something is happening with my fox coral. I don't know if it is a gone to coral happy place or still good. Anyone experience with them know? It looks like I can see it's skeleton on the top side. But not sure.

Doesn't look happy. Mine is on bottom rocks in low flow and 125 par. Have had them 2 years now.

Same here is, I have it on a bottom rock. But not sure of the par well crossing fingers for it.

Another thing if you research fox coral they mention mounting horizontal not vertical too.

They ABSOLUTELY HATE flow in any way shape or form, mine likes the water almost stagnant, a good indicator is if small pieces of sand are able to settle near it without being blown away at all

Assure flow isnt heavy and that po4 and no3 are not elevated. Also feed 2x a week and add amino and stronium to water periodically and that calcium is not below 380

I will relocate it and see. It is placed on a place where it is getting med flow and I will also mount it at a different angle and see. Thanks

Low flow not med

Yes mid flow is not good, that's the reason for the recession

Got it. Thanks will move it to a area where there is not much flow a d if it's still to strong will cut the gyre flow a little more

And try mounting the skeletal structure horizontal.
