New Lobo

[Jimbo60]

Help!! I’m a newbie (sorry). And added a red and green lobo 5 days ago. It is in the middle of the tank and this morning I noticed white growth. What us going on with it? Thanks in advance for some advice. Jim

That "white growth" looks like its skeleton. It's not happy. What are your parameters and what lighting are you using and where is the coral in the tank?

Definitely not a happy coral, from the looks of it it's placed to high try lowering the coral to the sand bed

Parameters are ok. I have an AI that came with the all in one Red Sea it is set at acclimation. It’s in the middle of the tank. I’m going to move it down. Thanks

I’m going to do that. Thanks so much.

Hi, could the flow be too strong? Do you have the wavemaker on the side with the exposed skeleton? Any peppermint shrimp or non reef-safe fish in tank such as angelfish or the like that find the fleshy lobo appetizing?
