Ok guys, I really need some help. I have 2 leather corals in my tank, a devils hand, and a yellow toadstool.
Both corals have been closed for well over a week now. I know these corals go through a shedding process where they don't open, but my question is how long does this normally take? Also do you think it's just coincidental that both are going through this at the same time? The one I'm more worried about is the toadstool, it seems to be now turning black in spots.
This is the description of my tank and params:
Red Sea Max 130d up and running for 13 months.
Salinity... 1.025
PH....8.1 - 8.2
Ammonia..... 0
Nitrite.......0
Nitrate...... 15- 20ppm
Calcium.....440
Phosphates are < .15
DKH..... 10
There doesn't seem to be any other problems I see in the tank other than the 2 leathers.
Any help or suggestions from you guys would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Mike
