I recently moved many of my SPS to another tank (from a 75G to a 40G breeder). Most are doing just fine. However, my superman monti look-a-like (it's supposed to be a rainbow monti) is starting to stn (it's flaking bits off). I really don't want this coral to die and it's not that big yet. It was in an area of high water flow so I've moved it out of there and into an area with a bit less. Anyone else have any helpful suggestions?
Then there's this other problem. I bought an sps colony that had 3 acro crabs in it. They're cute little guys, and there's at least two different species sharing the same little colony. I hadn't had any luck in getting one to move to another colony until I put them into the 40G. Suddenly one moved to this purple sps colony in the picture. The colony then started getting pin-prick sized whiter areas on it. I took this to mean that the colony was also having issues acclimating to the new tank. However, tonight while I was watching the little crab, I noticed him *taking* little pin-prick sized chunks out of the coral and eating them. Umm? The crabs were just fine on the other colony. Any help? Photo:
