Not sure whats going on with this chalice. Ive had the mummy eye (green one) and link booobies and this blue one i forgot the name. For maybe 4 months now.. Theyre all sloww growing soecially the pink one but they did grow double in size. Almost.
But now my blue one is losing flesh so fast.. its 50% or more gone. I dunno what to do.
The only thing i did different was put the big rock theyre on. On the sand bed like 4 weeks ago. Seems it gets worse at night.. but i havent seen anything eating it. I moved it back up mid way in the tank 2 days ago off the ssnd. But its still progressing
Nothing stinging it that i can tell either.. all 3 chalices are the same species. All my other chalices in the tabk are doing fine. The hollywood stunner i just lut there today to get it outa the way it isnt the cause so ignore that. But its fine.
My other pinkish/purple chalice is fine too. And i got a new one near death a week ago and its recovering from the tabk it was in prior from that person.
So i dont get it. All my other 80+ corals are fine too. Extending fully. Have good color.. no issues i can tell.
Magnesium is 1330
Calcium is 420
Alk is 8-9
Temp is 79f, salinity is 1.0264-1.027.
I dose alk daily, i did start dosing seachem powdered calcium and powdered alk as the store didnt have the seachem part 1 and 2 liquid calcium.. could that be it ?? I dont think so lol because no one else is having issues.
I also dose idodine/iodide from fluval once a week 5ml.
And i dose kents marine products like cora vits, strontium and molybdenum, and kents essential elements. 15ml each bottle every 7 days. I dose because with so many corals i lose nutrients fast.. sps turn white after only 2 weeks and water changes are getting exoensive.. these dosing bottles from kent and fluval stopped the need of excessive water changes. From 100+ corals sucking everything up in a 135 gallon tank. I can go 2 months with no water change by dosing
But yea.. i dunno whats going on here.
This sucks too i paid 40$ for this chslice months ago and i hate seeing money fly away even if its just 40$ or 10$. What can i do to try to save it ?
Here are pics of it and all my chalices
