Eligence Coral Clarification

[Luke.]

hey everyone so is it normal for elegance coraks to wax like this ? I've had it for 2 weeks now and every morning I turn on the lights it'll be like this and then my clown will start to try and eat it here and there but for the most part she dosent clowns are just always hungry lol... But here's a pic of it now

It's a sign of stress. Spitting out its innards.

 

[heath]

sorry, but it doesn't look good, is it detaching from its skeleton?

 

[BIGSHOW]

Its dying. I would toss it. Beyond the stage of recovery.

 

[Luke.]

No it's get all puffy and looks better as the day goes on ill take a pic in an hour or so and post it here the wax goes away and it looks fine it really does it when it get fed reef roids

 

[Luke.]

Soo. Just found out I did my alk test wrong lol and it was too low (5.3)so I know you can add stuff to make it go normal but would 10% water change for 10 days = "100%" would that bring things back to normal or will I still need the calcium alk additives ?

 

[Luke.]

Here's a pic 2 hours later

I don't think thats an elegance coral

 

[BIGSHOW]

Looks like a fox coral

 

[Luke.]

what about my alk issue look up any luck in what I'm going to try?

 

[Luke.]

Also does a fox face have pointy tips on the end you can see mine does is that normal I bought it from the store as a elegance but he's obvi not doing well and I wonder if it's my alk? I made a post up above

Here is a happy elegance. So either yours is pretty much toast or it is not an elegance.

Mine is huge, hard to tell from the pic, but it is almost a foot from left to right

Your AlK is in danger low territory. I would also check the other two parameters related to ALK which are CALC and MAG. You should raise your ALK to be in the 8-9 range, but this should be done over a week or so to minimize a shock to the inhabitants.

I'm sorry guys I have the salifert kh/ alk test I put the 4 ml in the vile , then 4 drops and then 1 mill on the small dripper to the black part and I do the test and I'm reading 2 ticks under 5 ml so would that be 48 if it is 48 that's an 8.0 in kh/dk ham I right ? And isn't that where it should be ? Hit makin sure im doing this right
