Superman Damae help !
I have a large piece of Superman Damae that was doing very well and now the skin is not blue it is going white, but the polyps are still bright and red and open... it is not dieing - just losing the blue.
Running MH 250's 14K on 8 hours a day. Lights are 10" above acrylic tank and coral is placed 6" below that. PH 1.026, Calc 410, ORP 430. Daily Calcium addition. Anyone else see this and how to correct it ? |

What is the flow around it like? I am no expert but I can tell you about mine which have actually colored up nicely over the past month.
My Superman did not farewell in my old tank with underpowered lighting, and the subsequent transition to my new tank. The flesh part was gray, and the polyps more of a crimson. Since my new tank has come online, all of the color has come back. Right now They are located high, about 12" from a 250 14k in a Lumenarc, 6 inches of water, 6 inches of air. Also the flow is medium flow area. My Salinty is 1.025 and stable from ATO, Calc 450 & Alk 4.0 from ATO with Kalk and 2 part, PH 8.1- 8.2 depending on Time of day, Po4 is high at .25, I do not measure ORP. HTH |

Chances are your ORP is not 430,it sucks but those probes are only good for about 4 to 6 months than the ORP readings just start rising, thats the first sign.I just replaced mine it was reading 450 and when I got my new probe the reading was 280.
