Single mushroom bleaching

[GabeM]

Howdy!

I have an issue with a single rhodactis coral bleaching.

This has progressed over the last 4 months or so. Parameters are good, the mushrooms all around it are the same split.

Nothing else is bleaching - I am actually seeing a ton of growth.

Does anyone know what might be going on?

It could have something to do with your phosphate levels. Are you using macroalgea? That could explain the phosphates as well.

Thanks for the reply! I am not using macroalgae. I do run GFO 4 hours a day.

My phosphates test between 0.03 and 0.00 via Salifert test. I should probably get the ultra low test since it is nearly impossible to tell under 0.03. I do feed very heavily and with reef roids as well.

Any updates on the bleached mushroom?
