 Bubble Coral Problems again......... I don't know what is happening here. I got some new white bubble coral, and Acan & a Lords from Vividaquariums.com. The Bubble coral look great and opened immediately after I acclimated it (drip method) and added it to my tank. I got it last Thursday and it did well over the weekend. I feed the tank Coral Frenzy, ArcticPods, and & Mysis after the lights go off. Sunday night the sweeper tentacles were extended and the coral was still doing great. Then yesterday the coral didn't open up at all and looked as if some of the tissue was coming off the skeleton of the coral. It's still not open this morning, and last night when I was target feeding some of corals, I gave the bubble coral a gentle blast of water from the turkey baster and some of the tissue flaked off in the water. Is all hope lost on this coral? What happened? This is the second white bubble coral this has happened to in my tank. However, I have a Pearl bubble coral that does great. All my LPS, SPS, Leathers and Zoas & Rics are doing great as well. Water parameters have not changed since the coral was added to the tank. Here are my tank parameters: SG: 1.026 PH: 8.3 KH: 11 CA: 410-420 Nitrate: 0 Phosphate: .25 Also the coral has been sitting in the same spot and has not fallen or anything like that, to the tissue should not have gotten damaged in any way. VividAquariums.com has a 15 day gurantee, but if this coral dies I'll have to wait until I place another order with them........and I don't plan to order for awhile. Any suggestions on the bubble coral? Thanks.  |

| Re: Bubble Coral Problems again......... It ended up dying. I think I may have just gotten a bad one with disease or something. Going to try one again next time I order. My Green Wall Hammer and the 2 Acans I got with the same order are doing great! VividAquariums refunded my money on the Bubble b/c of their 15 day guarantee. They actually credit the money back to your credit card instead of giving you in-store credit. I will definitely order from them again. |
