Help Please-Is My Toadstool Leather Dying?

Datone · 04/21/2006, 05:27 PM

My Toadstool Leather has been closed up for about 3 days. I noticed yesterday the base of the coral has turned grey and is peeling from top to bottom. Thr top has 'slimed' before, but this is different. It is also starting to bend over. Is this something natural or do you think it's dying? All of my other corals are doing great. I have syphoned some of the dead skin out with a baster. Anything else I should do? Thank you.

Hard to say without more info, and pics. Have you made any recent changes or additions to the tank, and what are your parameters?

The only change i made was from PC 4x65 to T5. i have 2 actinic on a 4x54 (waiting shipment on the other 2 bulbs) and a Coralife T5 2x28 which was also with the PC's when i used them.
