dying coral

Hi to all the names I still recognize on TRT as I logged back in this morning. It has been quite a while since getting online and lurking in the threads. I have to say that I just dont seem to have the time I used to these days, and that has certainly seemed to have a very negative impact on my...

I have a birdsnest coral that came to me with a bleached base but the rest of it was healthy. It was high up in my tank and had good flow with good poly extension but all of sudden has bleached out and died. Params are good, lighting is excellent and I don't understand why it died...I have two...

Hi, i have a problem that ive never come accross before and its got me baffled. Tank perameters are listed below, but basically any coral i now put in my tank dies instantly and my fish have started dying. My water parameters are all good at 0 apart from Nitrate which is a little high at .20...

Alright I just bought an LPS Coral about two weeks ago and I am pretty sure it is dying. I am new with Coral's and have pretty much stayed with a fish only tank until now. I would just like to know if the coral is already dead or if there is a chance it can recover, if it can i would love to get...

Hi. I recently got a toadstool a week ago and everything was fine, until now. I got home from school today, and of course, was gazing upon my coral and noticed brown areas on my corals, they are not those worm thingies. So I looked online and decided to dip in some coral revive and after that...

I noticed that last night he was more scruntched in then normal. if you didnt see my other post, he looked like he had a bruise on himself underneath, and i thought he was splitting. today i came home from school and a few of his tentacle things were out but not many, fed the fish, and he...

Greetings, new to the forum and recently setup a 30 gallon cube with a 18gal refug/sump. I've been slowly buying equipment, building other equipment, and have the tank up and running. The tank is my wife's to run, just mainly helping setup and start up. Levels are fine and stable, filled with...

Well, it's been awhile since I've been on here due to a very hectic work schedule. Recently I've lost a 4" crocea clam and a bubble coral and now I have a 4" welso brain that's going down fast. In the last few months I got behind on water changes (normally 20-25 gal every 10 days). I probably...

I am not sure if this is the right spot to post this. sorry if i am wrong. Recently my acan coral was attacked by another coral and at first 2 polys were gone and the rest looked fine. i moved my acan to an empty spot and the next 3 days a slimy membrane began to cover my acan. what do i do...

Hi everyone, Here is my situation, i have a 26 gallon reef tank about 8 months old, all params are as they should be except for the nitrate spike. It has been going on for a few weeks now, it was caused by tainted ro water from my lfs, my bad for not continually checking. Since then i have...

I have set up a 14 gallon biocube approximately 1 month ago. I have 2 small zoanthid frags each with 4 polyps (1 frag had 25 polyps until the chocolate chip starfish mowed it over) and an acan coral. Over the past week she acan flesh, for lack of a better term, has started receding and the spiny...

My button polys have been doing great, but now, i have about 7-8 "dead" ones. When i get close to them, all the other ones close up, except for those few. They look a little shriveled up and brown. i don't think anything is eating them or messing with them, and all my water params are good. So...

I have a question I purchased an alveopora a few weeks ago and it was doing just fine, it has four branches and yesterday the polyps from two of the smaller branches did not emerge. This morning when I got up I noticed the branches were dead - gone just like that, and the structure is also...
