What caused bubble to melt away?

Hi guys,

I've had this particular bubble for like 2+ years, then about a month ago it suddenly began to shrink and portions of it began to melt away until I finally gave up hope on any chance of recovery yesterday...

All other corals (including a bubble right next to it) are perfectly fine and doing well... water params normal

Any idea what happened?

Thanks!

Ervine

Added new corals during this time? Melting away sounds like brown jelly disease, which often infects newly imported corals. Not sure if it is infectious between different coral species though.

Always something more important than fish.

HMMMmm.. there could have been some LFS tank water added in when I added some LS but no new corals though...

it does SOUND like brown jelly disease because the bubbles really started to look like brown jelly before finally disintegrating..

sorry for this againn

How to prevent this from happening? Luggol Dip? :thanks:

Hmmm I saw this coral dip by Seachem which is suppose to condition and help in healing soft/hard corals... will it work?

hope you have not given up on it. Have a bubble fist size with 3 mouth on it. started to melt away without any reason and no addition of live stock(fish/coral)

after about half have melted and the other half still struggling(about 3 weeks) it started to heal and those half which have melted some flesh on side healed and form new mouth.... :D

nothing had been done like most having massive h20 change or addictive as most live stock in tank is at least 2 years old and all are healthy except the bubble.

Now got extra baby bubble :rolleyes:

hope yours will heal soon :angel:

yeah I have a kalk reactor hooked up to my auto-top up... but I also dose calcium and kH buffers occasionally... realised that after I dosed the bubble started to shrink considerably...
