Black Sun Coral

bruce_nicaise · Jan 20, 2011

Afternoon,

I have something growing on the base of my Black Sun Coral. I was wondering if it was a disease of some sort. I don't believe it to be bleaching beacause it these are NPS. I believe it to be isolated because my Orange Sun Coral is showing great growth! current water chemistry: Salinity .023, PH 8.3, amm 0 nitrites 0, phosphates undectable, nitrates < 5ppm, calcium 440, KH 10, I don't have a current mag level...Any thoughts or advice would be great.

Is the flesh receding? It looks kind of like the skeleton is showing.

How long have you had them?

Have they been eating well? Is something stealing their food before they can consume it?

Is the white part soft and spongy feeling? Or hard?
