This is my 2nd LPS coral ever, arrived 2-3 weeks ago, it's currently in a recommended zone: low to mid lighting low-ish flow.
As far as I've been able to figure it out my mistake was: When I placed it in, I accidentally clamped a bit of the 2 heads between the rock and the underside of the coral thus making it die away, but now I fixed it.
Parameters:
Hanna checker-PO4: 0,4 -I know that's high, I'm dosing LaCl for it however I also have NOPOX but I'm afraid it will get a bacterial infection.
Salifert-NO3: 50-70 -I'd want to dose NOPOX -> problem mentioned above
Refractometer-Salinity: 1.025
The rest are mistery.
Dosing:
3mls of nopox last day (this is usually a weekly dosing depending on the nutrients)
Last day aswell, about 2mls of LaCl which according to the description, corresponds to a decreasment of 0,05-0,1 of PO4/day
Filtration:
10% waterchanges/week
protein skimmer
a filter sock
some ceramic media
activated carbon
Other informations
I have a 2 headed zoa frag which is currently closed besides this one the others are healthy.
My euphyllia (paraancora) is a bit stressed
Everything else seems to be fine for now...
Questions:
Can those 2 heads grow back? (their other half is unharmed, mouths are all intact) If yes how can I speed up the healing process?
Will it spread to the large healthy one and to the 2 offsprings ?
Pictures (I had to use my phone's flashlight)
