Please! I have an awesome purple acro frag that is about a year old. It
started out as a purple tipped frag, but since it has been in my tank, the
entire thing has turned into a beautiful deep purple. It has grow probably
.25 to .50 inches over the last year. It is one of my nicest pieces. Well a
couple of days ago, I noticed that the acro was not opening like it usually
does. Seemed kinda pissed. This weekend, I decided to do a bit of
re-arranging and see if I could get the coral out front and center (was sort
of close to other corals, and beginning to be surrounded by caluerpa, which
by the way can not be stopped). After doing so, I noticed that it did not
help and that the coral still was not opening. I then picked it up (kept in
the tank) for closer inspection and noticed that the coral has some small
white spots on various areas and branches on the coral. Tissue had
"dissolved" and the spots were almost looking like they had a bit of decay
going on. I used my fingernail and scraped them clean and placed the coral
back in its spot. I checked out the spot it was in before I moved it and did
not notice any "predators" like aptasia or other corals. Only caluerpa. I
wonder if the caluerpa was trying to root into those areas of the coral??
Who knows.
Any ways, my question is, what can I do to help this piece at this point?
The spots are too numerous (and the frag is too small) to frag this piece
off. I would really rather try and save the entire piece. Does anyone have
any idea what this may be and what I can do to help this coral?
TIA
Shane C
