Pico Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have a sun coral in my pico tank. It feeds on cyclopeeze alternate nights. It seems to be growing new baby heads but not sure why the flesh is tearing, exposing a few spots of bone. Any ideas what causes the bald spots and why the weird bald spots seem to be growing bigger?

Gouldian Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Check parameters, I have had suns that peel-off due to high nitrate.

Pico Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hmmm, I do not have the parameters but they could be high, judging from the algae on the tank recently. The feeding of cyclopeeze might have created high nitrates right? Is it possible to maintain a sun coral in a 3.4 gallon iq5 pico? The protein skimmer seems to be of little help in skimming anything.
