Did you check your water parameters? temp, salinity, ph, etc
Is any stinging coral nearby?
Check your light bulbs and timer.
I've checked my parameters, and everything is in normal. There are no other corals nearby that i put there, but there are some hitchhiker growths all around them on that rock, and I have no idea what they may be, I will get pictures of them later today. the two baby ricks are pencil eraser size or smaller... should i try to relocate them, or simply let them do their thing? All of my lights are on timers, to simulate a day cycle, midnight hours is pitch black, early morning is moonlights, followed by actinic, followed by actinic +daylight bulb, and winding down to only actinic and later by moonligt and darkness once more. only other think i can think of is that since i was gone, i wasnt able to add any supplements, liq. calcium iodine etc so i suppose this could have done something?
