Hoping that someone here has some experience with saving australomussa corals.
I've had this guy for about 6 weeks in my 20gal AIO long tank and have maintained stable water parameters.
When I introduced it to the tank, I found a nice spot with low flow and med/low light, as pictured here:
A few weeks later...
After noticing the recession, I lifted it up and put it on a rock though it's hard to tell if it's doing better. Being newer to the hobby I realize I won't see improvement "overnight" but was looking for some insight as to if things are back on the right track. It's feeding well fortunately but it absolutely doesn't look healthy.
This was taken about a week ago.
A few days ago, I noticed an aiptasia growing on the underside which certainly isn't helping anything and added 2 nudibranch last week hoping that they'll take care of the pesky aiptasia.
Questions:
1) is this recoverable? unsure if this is bacterial or a different issue given it was on the sand bed.
2) would a peroxide dip be ill advised given the stressed condition?
3) should I just let it ride?
I love this piece and it's a showpiece so really hopeful I can nurse it back to health.
Thanks!
