Bro,

that part of the calcium bone exposed is where the frogspawn die liao, most likely the entire branch will die sooner or later, if there are coupld of branches, you may wanna cut away the dying part to keep the healthier branches...

Juz my 2 cts...

thanks RAV....i thought so too....HAI.....kena conned....but this piece is only $10....can't complain much......

anyone thinks that it might recover??

[ReDDeviLs]

hey bro..

mine got quite afew like that,but was free...

so try to nurse it back to health..recently not bad.. got 1 start to open liao!

i dose calcium,feed them regularly and also lighter current than they usually need..not sure if that helps..did not expose them under strong mh like the normal onces..

u sure not?? check with them leh....if confirm can, then i will do it....i dun mind topping up more cash for other things...

[Vinoth]

Its dying...that's what happened to my octo..

[scarab]

It's confirm dying. Better monitor it's condition. If other branches start to have same problem remove it

[typrobin]

tomolo i will throw it away....thanks...anyway...the LFS let me swop for something....damn good....i will be their loyal supporter form now on...

Normally, if the coral turns like dat, its better to remove, if not if it dies when u are sleeping or not at home, it pollutes the water....

My guess is maybe the switching off of the MH kinda shock the coral thus reacting like this, just monitor closely for a few days and feed them well :-)

hi all, is there anything wrong with my bubble?? it is sleepin now...but usually the sweeper tentancles will extend but tonight, everthing closed up....pls advise...thansk... hai..........

[typrobin]

usually when lights are off, it looks like tat...

[bwilly]

once awhile it will close.

but monitor it closely..

if its flesh start to disappear, then upz lorry liao..

but other part may still survive.. (if not link together)

check your location of tank n water parameter.

they dislikes too much a strong flow. n your tank temperature

since u r not using a chiller.

Agree with bwilly.... bubbles/cateyes dun really enjoy strong currents... also, ur water parameters must be okay... typrobin, did u measure them lately?

Bro,

better to do it every 2-3 days, coz when the tank is new, the parameters are not so stable, moreover, when u are stocking up, it causes changes in your bioload, so its good to measure often...

Vincent Ho

[bwilly]

if everytime u see the frag still not open, then something is wrong.

check your NO3, usually corals dun likes too high of it also.

if its recently it becomes like dat, maybe due to your MH..

contribute too high temperature that it start to close than open.

it need time to adjust to new lighting u got also.

alot of things lah.. from your posting won't know wat happen n

can't really advise but can suggest a few alternatives.
