SPS turn green

[nutx]

Hi...pls see the pic...

there is a portion turned green (looks nice)...but there are no more small polyps extending out, unlike the brown portion, can see the small polyps extending.

so..is this dying or colouring up?

[nutx]

another pic....sorry, DC not good, cannot zoom in...

when my friend's acro died, the skeleton is green in colour. maybe because of excessive use of phyto?

Mine worst, a portion of it turn white, tot it was a RTN, but end up recovering back within 2 days after dosing some aminoacid.

so, it's dying?

[blueheaven]

not too sure but if you see pieces of tissue floating off or fishes pecking a t it then

[nutx]

is this pic better?

[nutx]

This one should be a growth pic, right? altho the colour is still brown.

[Eric]

Nv die, in fact recovering fast. Hopefully will recover fully in a weeks time, now I'm contemplating whether to add more aminoacid or not.

is this pic better?

You will only be able to tell if an SPS is going to go fast is when tissue starts flying off the skeleton.

If there are changes to the colour, it could be it adapting to a new environment, stress or even bleaching.

the process was quite slow...abt 3-4 days back, then saw the first 'batch abt a 5cents coin...then it start to spread...now is abt an area of 50cents.

This piece is in my tank for 3 weeks already.

Looking frm the pix is very hard to tell due to it's quality

The part that changed color shd have polyps extension juz like the rest coz they belongs to the same colony. By the way, the whole colony shd have color up together unless the green part is being position in favour to lightin and good flow. And u r sayin 3-4days ago only 5cent part tat turn green n now spread to 50cent size....hmm, tats fast for coloration. Anyway goodluck with it, juz keep on monitoring or try to get a better pix so tat the problem can be identified.

The more I look at the bright green portion, the more I feel its dead skeleton.... Maybe you can do a check when the lights are out with a torch light to confirm polyp extension.

But it sure looks dead to me

Yup i agree with hon

[Achilles Tang]

How about you take a better quality pix?

[Mellow]

yup, kindda agree with DA and Hon too...looks pretty dead to me. I remembered having this acro that turned green too when it died last time..as AT said, might be good to double check with a better picture?

[nutx]

hi...sorry, dun have a better DC to take a better pic.

I think it is dead too...since no polyps extending out, whether lights is on or out.....just hope that it will not spread.

thanks for the comments

[marinereef]

It is confirmed dead since no polyps extending out just same case as mine.It will slowly spread throughout the whole colony.Just wait n see.

could the greenish part be algae growing on it? dat's why it looks greenish?
