Stung Welso

[dalexandert23]

I think this Wellso might’ve gotten stung. Possibly aptasia?? Any recommendations? Can I dip it?

It can be dipped.
Why do you think it's stung? Something near it, do you see aptaisia?

 

[dalexandert23]

Yes, there is a piece of live rock that has aptasia near it. If not stung, thoughts on what could be causing it to close only on that one side?

Parameters have been consistent:
Salinity 1.025
Alk 8.8-9.2
Calcium 435-450
Mag 1500-1550
Phosphate 0.06 ppm
Nitrates 10-15 ppm

For the time being, I have dipped it and placed it in my sump, as I noticed my rabbit fish picking at what I’m assuming is the dead tissue.

Oh, it could just be the rabbit. Has it been picking on other coral also? Do you have other meaty corals like this one?
Aptaisia could have stung it but now I'm more inclined it was the fish.
