    did you check for nudis? or a fungus? i had a clear fungus on mine and they were all closed. I kept my Ph stable and everything is back to normal.

    You seem to be having problems with several corals lately (zoas, leather, brain) and your water parameters seem fine. I'm wondering about that foxface I see in a lot of your photos. Ever see him nipping at coral?

    The foxface has been in there for about a year have never seen him go after anything

    The brain has gone back to normal, and the leather i still have no clue, it looks like its got black spots that don't move?

    Ph is 8.0 and fairly stable I don't see a fungus and did a dip thinking nudis

    Should I do another dip? I used revive but could try something else

    I wouldnt be to worried, as long as the polyps still look firm and healthy, my zoas just finish a week long closing. but are now opened and splitting, I'm in no way a pro, but I think corals just have "stubborn" phases from what I've been told
