[deepblue68]

I have this chalice that's turning white and looks to like its dying off.water test revealed everything in spec but my calcium do to doser being left on so calcium is off the charts.i did a water change last Sunday and will do another tomorrow. Could this be due to high calcium levels?

Is it a newly acquired piece or has it grown from a frag in your system?

 

[deepblue68]

Grow from a frag in my system over the past two years its one of my best growing corals

 

[deepblue68]

Still alot of new growth this appeared out of nowhere only thing thats off is calcium and iam slowly trying to rectify .

 

[john90009]

Is anything near it that pissed it off? Was it always a brown color or more of a green color?

 

[deepblue68]

Its growing next to a sunset montipora could it be stinging it or monti's dont sting? I always thought chalice where more aggressive .

Always green but its growing out towards monti.

 

[deepblue68]

Monti on the left.

 

[john90009]

Yeah deff not getting stung by the monti. It seems like the growth rings are more of the greener that I was hoping it was. Has your nutrients fluctuated lately? My green stunner will turn brown if it’s not getting the light it wants, yours may be getting too much or too little light. The growth shows the green that it should be but it’s not retaining the green.

 

[john90009]

Happen to have a full tank shot and what are your lights on, and kind of lights.

 

[deepblue68]

Kessils at 65%

Is it bleaching or is the flesh dying and peeling off?

Hi Dave
The flesh is dying and peeling off. It was growing like crazy and this started.

 

[DangerDave]

could it of been stung by something? that happens a lot to the Hollywood stunner that is in my euphyllia tank. They let stingers go all the time...

Closet corals are sunset montipora and red sea xenia but don't appear to be touching

Euphyllia don’t have to be close, it’s not uncommon for them to let their stingers go into the water column. I find them all over the place in my one tank.

 

[deepblue68]

Wow I did not know that. It's very possible .it still has new growth ?
