TheUnfocusedOne Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 looks like something picked at my brothers plate coral theres a white spot on it im guessing it was our peppermint, my brother fed by just droping a cube of food in last time n im pretty sure the pep didnt get nething the cleaner usual eats everything i have thusly repremanded him for it, n he wont do it agian so 2 question does it sound like it was the pep? and what are the chances of survival for his plate coral?

seahorsedreams Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Can't say it was or wasn't the pep. They are notorious for food stealing and sometimes cause damage along the way. but there could be many many causes. Plates don't recover very well, I'm afraid. Link to comment

supreme_spork Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 my cleaner grabs food from my plate all the time and it's never been a problem... is the white spot like skeleton, or a bleached area? Link to comment
TheUnfocusedOne Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 looks like skeleton, i mean it looks a lil upset in that one spot but it still looks alive in others Link to comment
supreme_spork Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 looks like skeleton, i mean it looks a lil upset in that one spot but it still looks alive in others hmm. skeleton ain't so good. can you put a barrier over it so nothing can get to it, like a mesh framework of some kind? keeping it isolated would be good, and make sure you keep feeding it if it's still eating.
