    copper will stay in system for as long as the system is there. If you use products that attach to copper that will help remove then you will slowly rid your system of problem. Be carefull when buying from LFS and ask what is there practices. You could save yourself a ton of headachs in the future.

    Hi, post a pic. I am not convinced about the Copper poisoning. Is anything else showing any ill effects i.e. other Coral, inverts. Do you really mean Kenya Coral or Lamnalia or maybe Colt?

    Is it dying or turning dark and not expanding? Kenya tree will go thur phases where it will not come out for a few days and them boom it is expanding and growing again.
