Have a Green Wall Hammer that I've had for about 4 months. I noticed around the start of the new year that it had a couple of small areas where the tissue had receded up the skeleton a little.... It been growing like crazy and I thought it may have just been due to that
In looking at it today the tissue has receded up the whole length of the skeleton!!! It is in an area where there was fairly high flow, but it was not getting blasted.
I'm pretty worried as it's such an awesome coral. There's no signs of BJD or anything like that.....Calcium and Alk are higher than normal but this is the only coral that is showing any signs of potential distress
Ph 8.4
Alk 12
Calc 500+ (test only goes up to 500)
I plan on doing a 20% water change in the morning to get levels back in check. I had some Sea Lab 28 in my sump over the holidays while I was away. It was keeping everything in line perfectly up till this week...normally I use turbo calk and superbuffer Dkh to maintain calc & alk.
