Howdy all. Well, this is weird. My Sarcophyton (I call it toadstool) which I have fragged many times over 6 months is acting funny. Normally it opens to like 8-10". For a week or so, it has not opened and there is algae growing on its cap. I cannot see a sheen layer like I normally do. Any thoughts here?
All other corals look great. I did add a coral last week. It was sold as a toadstool mushroom leather sarco hehe. I would describe it as finger-like with tons of little star polyps, when open makes it look fuzzy. Yellowish with white polyps. Prob doesn't help much I know. Tank param is 55 gallon. Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate=zero. 79 degrees. 1.024 SG. Ca= 420 Alk=3.75. pH=8.1. Sarco has been in this tank for 6 months. pH has always sucked. This is my UG/Plenum/DSB tank.
Any thoughts would be helpful, this sarco is my buddy. Does anyone else get this attached to 1 coral?
