cachocachocacho Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 good afternoon everybody... the condition of one of my tank inhabitants is troubling me... i put i a xenia in my tank about 2 months ago and it has been doing great since, until last week i added a long tentacle plate coral. ever since then the xenia has been looking sadder and sadder i just did another check of my parameters and they are fine; ammonia, nitrate, nitrite - 0, ph 8.2, Ca 450 ppm, 8 dkH, temp 78 F.. could the plate coral be attacking the xenia? they are about 3 inches apart from each other... also this saturday the plate coral spewed out some red slimy stringy stuff... or at least i think it was him because i saw a clump of it in his mouth... ideas please!

cachocachocacho Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 oh yeh, everything else is doing fine, wellsophylia, feather dusters, button and colony polyps, zoos, shrooms, and the plate coral, except the xenia, Link to comment

LITTLEFISHEE Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 That xenia is probably taking a beating at night. Don't worry about the plate, it was probably just making a boom-boom. Link to comment
storrsms Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 the red stringy stuff is possibly/probably the coral excreting waste-they poop out of their oral cavity, I've seen mine do this several times, especially the day after a good feeding. good luck and your plate looks good Mark Link to comment
storrsms Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 sorry- since you didn't post a pic I guess I can't say what your plate looks like Mark Link to comment
