Hello Everyone,

I noticed for that my Green cap color is fading, the green doesn't look so bright as before. All water parameters are ok. All other corals except for my Duncan are ok as well interms of growth and color. The only thing with my Monti is that it has Colony Polyp, Yellow.

Water Parameter
Alk 7.8
Ca 350
MG 1400
Phosphate 0
Salinity 1.025
Temp 78

Hello everyone, After research I found out that the Yellow Polyps coral will sting the montipora. What I did was to set my G3 Radions to Moonlight with the coral in swallow water use a pair of tweezers to pluck away the Yellow Polyp from its root. Hopefully this eradicate the Yellow Polyp and the Green Montipora will start to get its color back.
