ORA Nathans Green Milli (Little or no PE)
 

I have a Nathan's Green Mille. It's fairly large that I grew from a frag. Has done very well up till about 2-3 wks ago. All of a sudden hardly no PE. Had been very hairy up to that point. One night my wife and I were looking at the tank and noticed what appeared to be polyp bailout. Tufts of star like polyps in several places were coming of the coral. Not sure a mille will even do this. I do have poccillipora that have done this and I have small pocci's in about a dozen different places. Anyway since then there has been very little PE on this one particular coral.
I checked parameters a couple days ago and all seem to be in check.
Ca. 480-500
Alk. 11.5
Mg. 1500
Nitrate 0 or undectable
Po4 .01-.03
All test were Salifert except phos. done with Seachem.
All other corals (acro/sps) are doing great. Just the one Mille. I keep my parameters at high levels because I feed the Blue Coral method (pappone) 2x a week.
Anybody got any ideas or input would be great.
thanks

dip it, might have bugs...

btw, i wish my millis have only lil PE rather than all out..

your levels are a little high but still Ok How is your temp and just for fun whats your salinity at? I only ask this becuase they do not like it to high.

I thought the same thing but have looked at night with a flash light very closely and see no indications of bugs. I haven't added any new corals in quite some time. Knock on wood I haven't had any as of yet.

Salinaty is 1.025, temp has been running right at 77.
Hey Michael you still feeding the papone? Just wondering. I've been feeding for quite some time now and has worked out good for me.
All my other corals are doing great other than the mille. Believe me I keep a very close eye on things. Can't seem to figure this one out.

Well as much as I hate to say it you were right. Got bugs! The worst kind. AEFW's. Dipped or should I say I am dipping as I type. All I can say is sh$t.

No sorry I don't. The after pic i would of needed a movie camera to catch it flying to the trash can. I was absolutely covered with worms and eggs. Tossed it. Going to dip all the others this weekend.
