Hi all,
Purchased this piece about 3 months ago. It was looking great and pretty large. I had it toward the top of my aquarium but after my new Smat Farm LEDs slowly ramped up, I noticed this coral none to happy. Started not inflating as much and then I noticed it receding. I moved it lower in my tank but still seems to be suffering. I now see some of its tentacles sloughing away. Can anyone help me with a way to save this guy? Any thoughts other than lighting?
everything else in the tank looks great, fish, hammer coral, frogspawn, toadstool. BTAs, Acans, Zoas, montipora, maxima clam, mushroom, all look good.
parameters tested today
temp 78.8
Salinity 1.024
Nitrates 15
Phosphates
Calcium 440
Alkalinity 9.0
PH 8.2
I know phosphates are high, but it’s lower than normal for my tank according to my test kit which is a little tough to read.
