Jungle_vip Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Pics? what type is it? how long have you had it? any other corals with issues? Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 What gorgonian? Nps or photosynthetic? Yes they like lots of random flow but not direct flow or it will effect the flesh. If its nps, it needs feeding, regularly. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 if its an nps it is probably starving. Very hard to keep unless you are diligent about feeding at least daily. Some will need to be fed a few times a day until it is well established. 1 Quote Link to comment
icatchsnook Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Overall the parameters you posted do not seem to present much of an issue, so perhaps the problem is something related to lighting, parameter fluctuations or flow. A picture and some more info about your system and routines would be helpful to try to determine why it is not doing well. Quote Link to comment
Pbalz Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I will post a pic water change 25% every two week feed once a week reef roids feed fish and crabs abs shrimp daily Monday thru Friday lighting hasn’t changed flow hasn’t changed and all other coral thriving Quote Link to comment
Pbalz Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 It’s a grubes Quote Link to comment
Jungle_vip Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Prob the direct flow is my guess. Directly in front of the pump isn’t really good for anything. Is it a new addition or have you had it for awhile? Sometimes things just die unknowingly. I moved my purple monsters over about 5-6 inches and one of them melted away in two days. It happens.

Clown79 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Knowing if its a non photosynthetic to photosynthetic is really important because if its nps- once a week feeding isn't enough. 2 Quote Link to comment

It’s a grubes. @Pbalz what other corals do you have near it? It’s possible something with a sweeper could have stung it. post some pics as soon as you can. Include one of the surrounding corals as well. Some corals could be 8-12 inches away and still put out some really long stinging sweeper tentacles. Quote Link to comment
Pbalz Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 He was one the first corals I added it came in a beginner pack so I don’t think it’s an nps Quote Link to comment

I don’t think it’s an nps Grube's gorgonian (Pinnigorgia flava) contains zooxanthellae, so it's a photosynthetic gorgonian; but it should also be fed. Your feeding routine is probably acceptable. It's relatively hardy. Here's some more information: https://www.aquariumcreationsonline.net/ORAGrubesGorgonian.html Also read this thread: 3 1 Quote Link to comment
HockeyDrumsFish Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The Gregorian is dying? So no more chants? 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
