Ok....as of yesterday, everything was going very well. All corals growing well, fully extended and parameters good.
I usually just target feed the duncans a few mysis shrimp a couple times a week, but I decided to put some zooplankton in the food mix yesterday. I target fed the Duncan and the Favia yesterday and I come home from work and the Duncan looks bad.
Bottom head is partially retracted and it looks like some
Tentacles are bleaching? The flesh looks a bit unusual around the bottom head as well. Like an acid burn....rough looking.
Just not good overall.
The Favia is bleaching in a small section as well.
I checked all water parameters and they look good.
Sal. 1.024
Ph 8.2
Trates 0
Trites. 0
Ammonia 0
Calcium 420
Alk 2.9
I will never be target feeding with the zooplankton ever again. Will they recover? Maybe?
