Olá a todos! Recentemente minha elegância também mostrou sintomas dessa doença, então ontem eu mergulhei em água doce e iodo e depois do banho, ele soltou muito muco e estava bem fechado, então essa manhã ele abriu melhor e fez um vídeo dele. Com o passar do tempo eu atualizo aqui, se você quiser

Translation: Hello everyone! Recently my elegance also showed symptoms of this disease, so yesterday I doused in fresh water and iodine and after the shower it released a lot of mucus and it was tightly closed, so this morning it opened better and made a video of it. Over time I update here, if you want

Nota: como eu não tenho um aquário de quarentena, eu tive que colocar a elegância de volta no aquário e para aliviá-la da luz, eu fiz uma gambiarra para fornecer sombra a ele

Translation: Note: as I don't have a quarantine tank, I had to put the elegance back in the tank and to lighten it, I made a workaround to provide shade for it.

Thats good to hear! Op how is your elegance doing?

It is associated with water quality. Mine is larger than a soccer ball and started as a baseball size. They required moderate light and water flow. When flow is a little too strong, in many cases, a white opaque mucus-like web is present and then feeding responses decline and tentacles are no longer sticky or able to easily capture prey items, even non-motile particulate material. The coral's tissue eventually shrinks, and the elegance goes downhill.
Center of tank seems best again under moderate light and flow, salinity 1.025, mag 1300, CA 440, temp at 77-79 and ph 8.1-8.3
I keep my nitrates under .5

Here is mine:

I just checked it out and it looks good. It's only a week or two from now that I'll really see an improvement. Below is the I made of elegance.

How is your elegance doing?

It’s not having any of that white slime anymore but it’s still not doing anything

it's not doing much here either but at least it's still opening well, but the tentacles are still missing

 

[Miklo_Miklo12]

It’s looking better than the last few days!

 

[Levi Nicolas]

Parece melhor do que nos últimos dias!

Legal! Aparentemente nossas elegâncias se recuperarão juntas, estou pensando no dia seguinte a amanhã, abaixe a sombra e veja como ela reage.

ECS - esp if the tentacles start to turn stubby.

I had it a few years ago and dispite all my research for treatment,, it slowly died over a 2 month period.. based on my research at the time - there is no known effective treatment, or even complete understanding of the cause.

Does your coral have the "cone" shaped bones? It seems that they are sometimes more susceptible to ECS.

Treatments that claimed that had worked includes: fw dips, antibiotic dips, moving to low light/flow, and pray to a diety of your choosing.
However all these evidence of effective treatment have been anecdotal.

You can try Google, or @ReefSquad , in case there are newer information on this

Been there and doing that!

Another update

 

[Chefwheredyougo]

Looks like he's opening up pretty good. Have you fed it?

No not yet I don’t think I’m going to feed it anytime soon while it’s recovering.

Another update

Great! Mine is that way too, but I wonder how long it will take the tentacles to grow again

Above is the video I just took with the lights off

 

[Levi Nicolas]

No not yet I don’t think I’m going to feed it anytime soon while it’s recovering.

How is your elegance these days? Any sign of the tentacles coming back?

It decided to start retracing again I am doing another fresh water dip right now

 

[Levi Nicolas]

it's bad here too... it only opens with the light in the morning when the lights are off and when I turn it on it closes and only opens when I turn off the lights, I'm thinking about taking a dip again.
