Okay so I know it has been a while since I have posted anything after my seemingly endless build thread (A Newcomer's 75g In-wall) finally finished, but work and babies and of course my new most time consuming, money dominating fish tank have done a good job of keeping me off the PC and ON the move.
Recently I have started having some problems with a few corals. The first problem I started having was with a branching torch coral. One day i came home and noticed that the polyps seemed to be "deflated" somewhat and didnt have the normal extension they do. Then shortly afterward i lost one of the small heads. A week ago or so I lost another one and now today it looks like I might lose a third. Even the biggest head that are sometimes over 2 or 3 inches when fully extended dont come all the way out some days. I dont know if I might lose those as well later on down the line if I dont find a solution.
The second problem I noticed was I got a tri color acro in two pieces from Naka and the larger portion of it bleached from the bottom up within a couple weeks of having it. Just started happening one day and over about a week it finally bleached all the way out and died. It didnt take long. But I had another little piece right above it in the tank and that little piece has grown some and looks healthy. After the one bleached out and died I started to notice that my acropora lovelli that I also got from Naka was starting to do the same thing. It has been about a week and a half or so since this started and it still has about half of the coral still alive but every day there is more white from the bottom up.
Now.,... today i noticed that my purple slimer that I got at the same time from the same person is starting to look like its about to bleach too!!!!!...
I dont know what the hell is going on.
HELP!
