Dead Kenya? with pic

[ckusnierek]

About three days ago I noticed that my kenya was not extended like normal. I just figured a shrimp or crab bothered it. Last night I realize it had changed colors from a "fleshy" pink to dull grey. And today it's slumped over. I have had this for a while and it has grown about 30% since so I know it was healthy when I got it. What could be wrong?

All other corals are fine

Colts, kenyas, and other soft corals in this family are know to get ticked off, deflate, and cease to expand for a few days. This is normal. It is also quite common for any coral's color to fade when the lights go off or change. My red mushrooms turn green when the lights go off and my colt fades to a greyish pale color.

Watch it closely. If it was dead, it would smell horrible. I would watch it over for a few more days and consult us here if its condition does not improve.

Have you changed you lighting , flow around the coral or generally in the tank, or filtration methods by any chance? Have you added any new critters or corals to the tank recently?

I would drop it to the bottom in a semi shaded area with low flow and give it some time. they don't like high or even moderate coral lighting as much.

No recent major changes no halide lighting and low flow.

I lost a few of these that did great for a long time then crashed. Not sure why so stopped keeping them.
