Actinodiscus Striata

MrFearnloathn · 04/12/2011, 03:44 PM

72 gal bowfront reef w/30g DSB refugium. I have had this Actinodiscus Striata,"Green Striped Mushroom Coral" for a couple months. She has made her home in a low light low flow corner of my tank, and has been extremely happy since the day she came home, but yesterday she never woke up. I have a small peaceful community of 4 fish, this coral is one of 7. Three of the corals are still frags. Being the Actinodiscus is considered an aggressive species, she is secluded far off by herself. Even after 2 months of my tank cycleing, I still do my water tests every night. I promise that water conditions can be ruled out. All water changes are 10% weekly with RO/DI, the same water is used for top off. I have 4 t5 HO's and like i said this coral is not directly under any of the lamps. I feed my fish twice a day and I stand by my practice of "less is more". Any sugestions?

please describe what you mean by "never woke up."

She is remaining closed. She is opened slightly more today then yesterday, but is still unhappy. I have a frag from this coral in the same display that is in happy healthy shape.
