About 2 weeks ago I moved all of my corals from my 20 long to my new 50 gallon system. Parameters were the sam and I adjusted the lights to the same par value the corals were used to in the old system. I had noticed over the past week that my orange monticap has been losing tissue a little bit week by week. My mind went to nudi’s right away but I have stayed up for hours on end during the past few nights trying to find one but saw nothing. I dialed back my lights a little bit about a week ago to see if that would help but it seems to only be receding further but very slowly. I also have been monitoring my Alk through the use of a Salifert test kit. A stable 8-8.3 since the move. The flow is indirect but moderate. Other montipora in the tank seem unaffected by whatever is affecting this orange cap. At this point I’m stumped so hopefully someone will know what’s going on here.
