Suunny D plague

[JuanJJ]

Does anyone know what type of plague can affect the Sunny D?

 

[officialreefbros]

Are they melting away or just more and more closing up?

 

[JuanJJ]

The tentacles disappear and become more and more contagious.

They aren't just curled in? Did you add a new fish or invert that is picking at them?

 

[JuanJJ]

This had already happened to this coral and I took it to another aquarium and it recovered, I went through it again, it was fine for a few days and the heads closed again. I have not seen any fish or invertebrates bothering it.

If the polyps are missing and its not juat closed You could try dipping it and seeing if you have any pests on it that are slowly eating it.

I tried with Reef Primer and the situation didn't change. Do you have any sugest for the dip?

I’ll give 25$ for the plague rock

Dip with coralrx

You could also try homemade h2o2 solution. I forget ratio but it’s on the forum

I would try dipping with Beyer and Iodine.
The 2 things I would watch for are pests like nudis or spiders, or a bacterial infection.

Here's some info on the dipping I would do.

any changes in flow in the tank? if not, maybe try a little more flow and see how they react before moving them to do a dip.
