He can do it. You just need to make sure if it's his job, maybe there's someone else there?

The best solution is to remove the coral and bathe it in a solution, or something similar, to eliminate planarians... The sooner, the better.

Jerry

I don't even know who could be there.

Nudibranchs, for example, which you didn't notice. They can come with illegal immigrants and then act with impunity unnoticed. Carefully inspect your reef as thoroughly as possible. They can be hard to spot, small. Colors are pale green or white.

Nudibranchs do not eat acroporas; they prefer montiporas, especially the leaf-like ones.

Oh, I don't know... My synularia was being nibbled by a nudibranch. In the morning, I somehow noticed the gnawed areas. I tracked it down and neutralized it... they can, in my humble opinion, specialize quite narrowly. Anything can happen on the reef. Do you agree?

Nancy

And who is Sinularia? It is true that pests are highly specialized... there is a considerable variety of nudibranchs... only certain species prefer umbrellas, for example, while others prefer Montipora. Similarly, acroporid planarians do not eat all acropora indiscriminately, but specific species.

Tammy

Sinularia brassica. Soft coral.

Kyle

I thought so too, but these are different things... You are lucky if you got rid of it; I advise you to check for eggs after some time.

I had exactly the same coral, but to a lesser extent, and more at the bottom after parameter fluctuations, then it stopped.

Adam

Thank you, my friends. I think it's a distortion in the parameters; the pH dropped to 7.7, and now it has normalized to 8.2.

Steven7574

I highly doubt that the pH played a role. At most, it would have affected the removal of polyps, but only if the pH was around 7.7 for about a month, then it might be possible. While there's still time, bathe him and cut live ones for frags.

It was a long time ago, now all the corals are fine.

I know a sailor whose pH in the aquarium drops to 7.5-7.7 at night. And with all that, he has such colorful corals!
