Is this RTN?

[piranhaman00]

Hi I have a galaxia coral that is turning white at the base. The polyps are still neon green and extending. I haven’t moved him recently.

NO3-5ppm
PO4-0.043
Salinity-1.025

Pictures will help so everyone can see whats going on.

Rtm is rapid tissue necrosis. Is the tissue dieing off fast or slow? Fast is rtn slow is stn.

Oh wow forgot pics

RTN is here today, gone tomorrow. STN is here today, gone in a few days+. The condition is reserved for SPS.

Oh it only affects sps? The base tissue is clearly white and appears to be receding , strange

Mine is brown at base though. That look like either bleach or it gonna dies

No, it's just a term for tissue loss. That can effect any coral with "skin."

What would cause it to start bleaching?

Lol it isnt bleaching... bleaching is totally different. It is losing its tissue so stn, it is most likely from your tank not having good enough parameters to keep it alive, something eating at it, etc therefore its now dieing.

Unstable parameters, critters attack. Wgst is your alk level, magnesium. calcium

 

[piranhaman00]

Alk:7.9
Ca:400
Mg: 1320

I have two sps corals, lepto, that are doing fine and all other lps are also fine, could it be from lack of light? I moved him in a corner a few weeks ago because of his stingers.

Wasn’t sure on difference between bleach and stn, Sorry still learning! Which is why I Am asking

In my experience galaxea love light but are certainly finicky and ince they go bad its hard to stop it. Try putting it in a higher light higher flow area.

No numbers for nutrients? But since you have lps that isnt much of a concern as they like dirtier water regardless.

I feel like my parameters are spot on, I’m going to try moving him tomorrow,

 

[Nanoreefer4ever]

Move it slowly up or to where light can shine in it, but watch out for it sweepers
