Armaghanyan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I noticed this morning that my favia coral, from what it looked to me, was eaten by tank mates,,, I have a reef safe fish in my tank along with couple of turbos a camel back shrimp and a hermint crab. I have my water parameters normal. So what can this be? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
romperstomper Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 could be anther coral near by stinging him but I would move him asap .You have a pic of the tank to get a wider view ? Quote Link to comment
Armaghanyan Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 No there are no corals close enough to sting it Quote Link to comment
romperstomper Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 have you dosed anything like iodine ,or done a large water change ,may be worth listing your stats ,other than that to much flow maybe ! Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Too much flow, too much light, not being fed, or fluctuations in alk can all cause this. Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Maybe it's the vodka dosing. Do you have a very good skimmer? That's needed for carbon dosing. Carbon dosing can be risky and has caused tank crashes. What are your nutrient levels? Your tank may be lacking nutrients. Quote Link to comment
jambon Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have my favia/war coral higher up in my tank. How long have you had this guy? It's color is a bit washed out possibly due to lack of light. Just something to consider if all else is well. Quote Link to comment
