The first coral I ever put in my tank (green pagoda cup),seems to have something wrong with it......producing slimey trails, and I just started noticing what looks like tiney white cottony dots- around the edges ofabout 1/3 of the craters where the polyps come out.
The polyps still extend everyday -like normal but.....the slime trails
and the cottony spots...something MUST be wrong?
Does anyone have any idaeas about what's happening- or what steps I need to take to insure the corals health and survival?
Sorry no pics as my putter is not working and I'm using some one else's lap top to ask the question.The cottony spots are very small and almost look like the coral has the fish parisite -ich!
water params:Ammo-0,trite-0,trate-undetectable,alk-12.2 dkh,cal-450,Mag-1320,Phos-undetectable.
I do a 10 gal water change each week (tank 112gal)-lights:
two 250 10k mh with two 90w super actinic vho.
I feed cyclop-ezze- oyster eggs,mysis,and phyto.
Everything else in the tank looks fantastic! :rolleye1: :confused:
