Sad day - Lost my first coral

[john0087]

I came home one day last week and I noticed that my Green Open Brain polyps seperated from the skeleton. I freaked out and chech the water. Everything seemed great.

The odd thing was the polyp was still bright green and opened and closed with my lighting schedule like it was ok. I thought maybe that this was a weird growht phase.

Anyways, the polyp eventually turned on its side confirmed that there was no skeleton on it. I went to retrive the polyp and skeleton and whoa.....3-4 small brittle (fire?) worms where living in the skelleton.



This coral was my first and I had him for almost a year. Grew quite big in my little tank and really was a crowd pleaser. Worse off, now I know that there are coral munchers breeding in my tank.

Anyways, I am planning an upgrade in Jamuary. I was going to transfer all my livestock and rocks to the new tank, but now, I may start from scratch.

Thanks

John
