Copperband question

shaggyboiler · 12/08/2008, 03:20 PM

I've noticed recently lots branches broken or falling off of my spaghetti leather. Would it be normal for the copperband to eat or pick on it?

I would say it's not normal. Many leathers can drop branches as a sort of propagation. Can you get any pictures?

sure, here are 2 pics

Really looks like it is dieing off. Not opening like it use to and limbs or pieces all over the place.

Pic of the full coral. You can see the right side is how it all use to look. you can see on the left front you a branch that is broken and hanging down right now.

You can see some of the limbs or pieces here. There are like 3 or 4 pieces here below. I found one or two others on the other side of tank.

Honestly my colt coral looked like that often, then would drop some branches, then a few weeks (or sometimes just days) later it would be fine.

Great I hope for the same then. On the plus side a few the the dropped branches appear to have attached and started new small corals.
