Either way, thanks for the input. I'm going to increase flow until I get other ideas. That seems to help every time I have weird sps issues. Although I doubt my hammers will appreciate it. Ah- the joys of mixed reefs!
Indeed, what the heck. I probably baste mine daily - never seen anything blow off but the sand my parrotfish keeps depositing on it. I guess you know what the spots are. How are your water parameters? Add anything new of-late?
I have no idea what the spots are other than skeleton minus the tissue... no idea what is causing it. I have another red monti on the opposite side of the tank and so far it seems fine. I suppose I'm going to wait for lights out and see if I can spot any pests. I really know nothing of the typical monti pests, I suppose I've been lucky. As far as params go
Yeah me too... didn't see anything last night. I'm going to get up around 3am tonight and look again. I doubt it's ABCD too but it just helps bring it home... shouldn't be dosing that stuff long term without an icp test
No. I dose in the first chamber of my sump. I don't know kind of damage pests can do to montis but that's the only thing I can come up with at the moment. Other than possible high levels of something weird due to the ABCD
Do you dose the ABCD separately? Many months back I ran into a weird scenario where I'd mixed a few coral supplements together (thinking that would be fine) and it damaged some of the corals when I was direct feeding (including my monti caps).
Maybe. I have a couple of frags from the same colony in other spots of the tank that were never affected. So far more flow has fixed every montipora issue I've had.
