Hello everyone,
I've got a problem with my cyphastrea (flaming meteor shower strain) in my Red Sea E 170 (now running for four months). For about two or three weeks, I've been unable to see any polyp movement and it's also got a kind of white coating. You can find a recent video attached. The change in red colour is only due to the limitations of my video and different lighting, so it's still red like before. The white coating is the only thing that's different. All the other corals are doing very well. The nitrate level is 7.5, the phosphate level is 0.05, and the KH level is 9.0. Everything's been pretty much the same since the last time, except for some iodine supplementation due to a lack of iodine in the last ICP test and a slight cyano phase for about 1-2 weeks, which disappeared without any intervention. There haven't been any changes in lighting or flow. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
