Any ideas?

Shade it. it's bleaching and receding where it gets the most light. Give it time to acclimate to your spectrum.

Nope wysiwyg same on other one nothing nearby

All this talk of the cheap $1 / $5 frags... Don't think I've ever been able to snag one from any vendor's sale ever... Guess I'm too slow lol. To be honest most vendors $5 frags I see sold out are bland junk I wouldn't want anyway, but the SBB ones looked everybit as nice as the normal stuff.... Next week's going to be a fun unboxing!

Red looks good and is fighting toystory acro

Makes no sense lowered lights one week ago. Still getting 100 was getting 150

yeah, i dont think the issue is the light intensity. could it be nutrient related?

Maybe spectrum change though

 

[Ben549]

Maybe spectrum change though

are you messing with the spectrum?

 

[AKL1950]

Anybody got a good technique for reposting Acro’s to move them to a Frag rack from the rocks? Some of my old non-SBB corals are going to lose their spots. Good Real Estate locations is getting tight.

Lowered whites because I was at 400 par. More blues now. Using accent lights and 10 percent whites now on ocean revive 247

they use wavelengths differently, ideally, you should acclimate by ramping the blues if that's what you are increasing. par is not the only relevant metric

I use 2 marine ic as accent lights because I like the ramp up and down and moonlight.

That's what I did

 

[Ben549]

That's what I did

but did you ramp them over like 30 days?

Ben is don't think you understand. I was baking my corals and had to bring it all down . It will be fine. Just weird its only the monti. Did not know par levels and finally had a par meter. My tank is mostly frags and can't handle that 500 par. Shane and I are going to hash some things out soon.

How are they attached to rocks now? Did you attach plug/disc or take frag off and attach direct to rock? Did it encrust onto rock any yet?

They are on the round disc of the old Frag post. The ones I’m looking at moving are ones that haven’t grown real well and have not encrusted off their disc yet. I was thinking of just glueing them with their disc onto a new Frag post.

no, maybe not, but it sounds like you changed your lighting spectrum and par very quickly. some corals can be sensitive to sudden changes, especially if they weren't using that white light spectrum and now they are suddenly getting lots of blue spectrum, which they do use.

Anyone think this is Mesenterial filaments.

New Video! I moved one of the wavemakes up to the tops back corner to give more flow in the center where I usually mount acros. @billyocean I tried to focus on the Rainbow Proc at one point, so you, and everyone can see my current flow now that I've changed it a little. Acros will always be around where the rainbow is, or the next rock shelf up. Let me know what you all think on the flow in that area now
