12 gallon aquapod 150w MH
Craziest thing, some of my colonies are growing fungus, and slowly disintegrating, all other corals in my tank are doing quite well, but some of the colonies are closing up, growing a white fuzz, polyp size shrinks and eventually melts away. Whats going on? It is a zoa dominant tank, and the way things are going I won't have any zoa's left.
is it contagious, not all are suffering but it is certainly spreading. This is fairly recent as of 2 weeks ago, when the first colony began showing signs. Some are healthy and thriving, some are melting away. I don't seem to understand what is going on. The colonies are attached to my LR so how can I go about treating them?
My current tank perameters are stable,
Alk 10 dkh
Ca 420
N02 <5ppm
N03 Undectable
Dosing with Brightwell aquatics 2 part supplement
Brightwell Vitamarin-C
Brightwell Koral Color
Weekly 3 gallon waterchanges with RO/DI water
Light Feeding, only have 1 fish, Orchid Dottyback
What seems to be a problem? I find new ones infected almost every day.
