I have two indophyllia and a cyanaria. The cyanaria has always limped along, the indos have been healthy and fully expanded for 8months.
For the last 10 days they have been shriveled tight as can be, right up against the skeleton. I’m worried they will start necrosis/losing tissue if they haven’t soon.
I have a trachyphlia that’s been doing the same but to a lesser degree for 2 months (but it’s always been fickle)
This was preceded by adding some wrasses, a bristle tooth tang and a powder blue. All my other lps are big and happy. My alk has also recently dropped last week from 8.5 to 7.5 up to 7.9…after they shriveled up.
My elegance coral did something similiar, then recovered.
Any ideas? Not sure why these guys are so angry.
They are spot fed every month or two.
Don’t extend at night.
Parameters: 1.0265, 8.0, 460, 0.06 (with algal growth), 0, recent ICP similiar to my prior ICP no heavy metals and missing random a few random trace (molybdenum etc) that are always hit or miss. Flow is low where they are.
Haven’t spotted anything that would cause just these two to rapidly be unhappy.
Maybe the alk?
Any experience or ideas?
