Shifting of Sps to another spot in same tank

and it started to STN?

anyone enoconter it before?

STN?

I assume is die off? Different spots in the tank has different waterflow and lighting, which are the 2 key factors. So I would say those are the main reasons.

Might not be 100% true, sometime when we shift the frag we might give too much pressure on the body and cause the "skin" drop.

Of cos water flow, lighting and water condition are the other factors. Also the coral might be stressed due to the shifting.

If the STN stop only at the spot and did not spread to other parts, it will still ok, just the STN part look white n ugly.

Anyhow dun worry, wait a fee more days or week n see how it go, whether really will STN or not.

shifting it once to a different position wouldnt lead to STN..... More likely the SPS is unhappy with the current condition of the place... as per suggested... Monitor it carefully this few days... if it stops then its ok... if it continues to get worsen.. perhpas you are better off shifting it back to its original place or find a new better place you /your coral are comfortable with

shifting it to another spot can cause stn. Not the shifting, but the new unfavourable conditions at the new spot.. The morale is : if it aint broke, dont fix it. My personal Xperience.
