Need help!!! possible RTN but not sure.

[HotRod68Camaro]

I came back this afternoon to see this. I was thinking it was RTN but it is changing from brown to green instead of brown to white (only 1 part is white).

Could some body confirm this is RTN, if so i might be able to save 1 of the branches.

cant see the pics here at work, but from your discription it sounds like a wild table colony i had that did the same thing. i would at least frag off one good tip.

Yup, more like in between STN and RTN :(. The green is algae colonizing the skeleton. Try fragging it up into the healthy portion. Good luck.

No polyps visible on the green, but the brown yes.....I say frag.

Great pics for diagnosis....clear and close up......

those two growths on each branch are odd....I havn't seen new growth look like that.....is is some pest?

Another clue.. red/brown flatworms tend to sit on dead/irritated coral tissue more so than healthy tissue, at least when their numbers are low.

Thanks guys, time to do some fragging.

Totally agree.

its turning green instead of white, probably because algae is already colonizing on it.. its amazing how fast algae will grow on freshly dead coral

and the parasite looking thing looks like a harmless barnacle.

i have one in my chesterfield. no problems whatsoever.
