So 2 or so weeks ago, I bought a beautiful Goniopora at a pretty reputable lfs here in Arizona. It appeared to be very full and healthy. $100 later, I’m at home acclimating the coral and placing it on the bottom of my tank, setting in the sand. I’ve successfully had gonis in the past thriving and growing on the sandbed. For the past two weeks the coral looked good overall. Three days ago I noticed a small section of the coral skeleton exposed in the center of the coral. A small amount of coral tissue was separated from the skeleton as well. How and when that got there, I don’t know. Two nights ago I noticed 2 pea sized chunks of brown jelly. I immediately syphoned them off with a turkey baster.
Today I’m wondering exactly what I should do.
1. Will it heal itself with time?
2. Should I dip it in Hydrogen Peroxide?
3. Should I get rid of it?
4. Your experience and success with this issue is my next move. Thanks.
