What is happening to my coral?

[theyangman]

Does anyone know what is going on with this guy?

It went from this:

To this:

There is like a white "dead" spot that splits this coral in the middle. It started a little bit on the outer ridge and work its way inward and right down the middle.

This process has taken about 5 days. Can I save it?

It is peeling, I'm assuming from too much light. Where is it located in your tank? Looks like Hollywood stunner chalice?

One other thought, since it looks like it was growing pretty good.... Did another coral land on it, or is close enough to sting it?  Do you have a tuxedo urchin that maybe has a stingy hitchhiker on it?  Seems odd that it would burn in a stripe after obviously growing (and if by chance that was a stunner piece from me, that stuff was a crazy fast grower.  I sold the colony off because it simply grew too fast.

My thoughts are that it could be one of three things:

1. something stung it
2. too much light
3. too little nutrients in your system

I can hook you up if salty is out.

 

[theyangman]

how big?

 

[unibob]

How big do you want?

 

[harleymike]

Cut the bad part off and you might be able too save the rest.

 

[theyangman]

What is the biggest you are willing to cut for me?

 

[Salty Cracker]

Heh and the murders continue....


I am out, I sold them all at the 'fest.  I didn't have a place for something that grew outwards so fast and had stingers.

 

[theyangman]

Maybe I will dump my plates & chalices too....

 

[Salty Cracker]

Heh you weren't kidding about your patience eh? 


Chalice is really really really hard.  I sorta know what I'm doing and I struggle with chalice.  You're lucky to have the funds to get a really nice setup, alllll you need is patience. 

That said, dibs on your water containers

all kidding aside, just let that chalice be and it should make a full recovery.

It wouldn't be the first hobby that I abandoned. You should see my retro video game collection, and my transformers collection.

The movies are an abomination to the legacy of transformers. The inaccuracies are too numerous to mention and bug the shit outta me.
