Sick Corals???!!??? Please help!!!

RalphTheOscar · 02/25/2015, 07:48 PM

I came home today and my Green Star Polyps color looks really weird, its a very very bright green. Its looks like its under a blue nighttime or moon light but the problem is its currently under white lighting at this hour. Also one part of the GSP looks clear with no green color at all.

Also my frogspawn as little specs in it where it looks extra bright or green. Ive never seen this before in my frogspawn, and ive never seen my GSP looks like this during the daytime. I dont know whats going on.

On another note, my torch looks normal and my hammer coral appears normal too. I dont see any discoloration or different appearance in either of these corals. They are fully extended and dont appear to be ****ed off or anything.

Any idea what is going on or what could be happening to cause this?

Don't worry about the GSP you can't hurt the stuff. Have you tested your phosphates and nitrates?

Pretty soon you will wish it had died...GSP can become very invasive

I kno GSP grows like a weed, but why is the color bright and weird looking. And why is the frogspawn also having issues? Can phosphates affect a corals colors?

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

My neon gsp looks just like that. I see no problems. We need your water parameters before helping you out. We need info.
