Is My Trumpet Coral Dying
I HAD A TRUMPET CORAL WITH 4 HEADS ON IT FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. IT WAS DOING GREAT. RECENTLY I ADDED MORE FLOW. NOW THE TOP OF THE CORAL IS PANCAKED LIKE ITS FLATE. AND THE OTHE SIDE ITS RIGHT DOWN TO THE SKULL. THERES FLESH ON IT BUT ITS NOT OPENED UP LIKE IT WAS BEFORE. BOTH SIDES WERE LIKE BALLONS BEFORE I ADDED THE POWER HEAD. CAN ANYONE HELP ME OR LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO

I would get the coral out of the flow, it almsot sounds like direct flow. These coral or similar corals that have the fleshy heads cant take alot of water flow, as it will damage the tissue and the coral will start to receed and could die off.
Move the coral to a more quiet spot with gentle flow, you can help it recover this way. Also pay special attention to it until it starts to perk back up. Feed it everyday. |
