Swimming with the fishes
I am having an issue with one of my candy cane corals.
I added two frags off a single colony 6 months ago and they have grown like crazy. About a week ago I noticed that one of the new colonies was not looking all that great. I didn't worry at first. Now I see a fair bit of white flesh and many of the heads are not opening to feed. The problem coral is about 24 inches from the other which shows no sign of stress. I will add a picture tonight.
The problem coral is not close to any other coral.
My parameters are spot on (I test weekly), and I have not added anything to the tank for about 2 months.
The tank is a mixed reef, of about 150 total gallons.
The sps and other lps all look fine.
No real changes to the tank recently.
I have only 4 fish: 2 clowns, a small hippo, and a sand sifting goby.
I have not noticed any of the fish near, or bothering the coral.
