Hammer coral bdj?

[Gabriel Hernandez JR]

I just saw this today first time I have ever saw this happen. help this my favorite coral!!! I just switched the coral from a 5 gallon nano tank to this 14 gallon bio cube

Did you acclimate it? Or are both tanks exactly the same? Also give it some time to adjust to it's new setting.

Looks like you may have missed it off in the move. I would give it a few days to recover before panicking just yet

Don’t see bjd. Are you describing the polyps closed up, could just be new lighting changes

 

[Gabriel Hernandez JR]

the tanks were same temp and salinity new tank the 5 gallon was running for 6 months new light though???

 

[Gabriel Hernandez JR]

mastiffsrule I am co concerned about the bown stuff coming out of the polyps.

I couldn’t see the jelly, but I got old eyes. Are you seeing a brown like mucus coming out. That may bea jelly. Could u get a pix less blue to see colors better. They can release slime that looks like the disease but not brown if the get cranky.

Hoping it’s just the cranky normal stuff

 

[Mastiffsrule]

To me, it just looks moody checking out it's new environment. Please allow some of the more experienced folks to chime in though.

Yay. Keep an eye on it. Even though water may be same the flow and light changed. If it still cranky maybe move a bit. It will usually tell u fast if you found the spot

Late to this thread, but that brown stuff is zooxanthellae algae being expelled by the coral.
This can sometimes be a normal occurrence, but also happens when the coral or nem is stressed, and can lead to bleaching or death.
This coral looks stressed and there might be some tissue recession from the skeleton at the front edge of that head.
Personally I'd leave it where it is and see if it recovers. Maybe decrease the light intensity a bit.
If you move it or dip it, that might just stress it enough more to kill it.
But that's just my opinion and others undoubtedly would handle it differently.

came back home after about an hour with light off then I reduced the light now it looks a little better I should add that the flow is about twice as much as the old tank now that I think about it.
