Skeleton showing on green short tentacle plate coral

Got it from Iwarna 2 days ago.

opened up and fed it mysis straight away. gobbled the whole lot up.

My tank parameters after testing today again is :

Ammonia: 0

Nitrate: 10ppm

Nitrite: 0

Ph: 8.3

Phosphate: 0.03

Calcium: 360 ( a bit low but i topped it up already)

Salinity is gd.

Temp is between 22 and 24 Degrees Celsius.

I am not sure why its dying.

could it be bacterial infection or the sexy shrimp stepping on it?

How sensitive is it to flow rates?

How do i save it!!

Mine is happy in medium flow. Sometimes after eating alot they will hide in their skeleton then come out the next day. Unless ur skeleton means the flesh eroding and turning white.

Fleshing looks like is disappearing and showing white skeleton.

Has not opening up either.

I got mine from GO and faced the same issue. Then I realized my KH went too low so I started dosing it up. My KH is at the ideal level yet but the plate survived. In fact I am seeing repair for past 1-2 month. I hoping soon the white skeleton will be covered up. So yes, it can recover but you need to find the problem. Mine is near or wave maker so I think can withstand medium flow.

Unlikely to be sexy shrimps...

Good New Everyone!

All i needed to do is move the plate coral to a location with lower flow.

it is eating again and its tentacles are out.

turns out..they are super sensitive to current.
