Sps cannot live in a nitrate free environment so if you do not have any nitrates they could have died from that.
Phosphates are bad for all corals that I know of but all sps like nitrates because they feed off it.
I want to get a monti cap , are they expensive?
We need more pics of said "special lady". just sayin. lol
Ok thanks ! I went to lfs yesterday and he wanted $25 for a 2" I think it's crazy but one day I will get one just no room in my budget at the moment.
