Open brain coral doing bad

[Openbrain]

Or 5 days mow it has looked like this.











What is wrong? Ive had it for 3 months. I change the water every week 30 gallon bow with RO water. Everything else is doing fine

 

[Sniperhank]

Recent changes? Anything that could possibly stress it? Parameters?

 

[Openbrain]

Only the fact that the clarkii clown loves him and she constantly rubs him

 

[Sniperhank]

And there is what is killing your coral.

 

[Openbrain]

Darn! I dont know what to do she loves him. Shes now trying to host my hairy mushroom

An open brain will shrivel up if it gets too much flow also.

 

[Openbrain]

Ok i just adjusted the flow. I may move him

 

[Openbrain]

Should i set up a hospital tank? Shes laying on him all night

 

[Openbrain]

At what point do i decide... Ok its dead

When there is absolutely no flesh on it at all.

When there is absolutely no flesh on it at all.

I'm so sad. Is there anything i can do?!!!!

 

[mr_X]

What are your current parameters? What did you change recently? Lighting, flow, or temp?

 

[Openbrain]

Look! Shes coming back!!!

 

[JustinKBreen]

Sweet !

One thing you want to do is leave it on the substrate. They dont do good on the rocks. Him trying to host the brain coral is stressing the coral. He`ll be OK as long as he does not get too rough. I still have not seen any water test results?

 

[Openbrain]

No2 &3 zero
Zero ammonia

Ph 7.2-7.4 throughout the day

Salinty 1.021

Sg 28

 

[melosu58]

Your PH is pretty low. Do me a favor and check it again about an hour before the lights go out.

 

[JustinKBreen]

Salinity should be between about 1.023 and 1.025 also.

Ok will do

But.... From what i understand trying to regulate Ph is pointless because it change all day correct?
