mushrooms dying ...

:-/ hello i lost two ricordea so far and have one mushroom in the same way anyone can identify this plss.....

everything in the lap of 2 days the only change i made was wc 15% sunday....

this pic was taken a week ago ...



yesterday night





this morning



right now ..






i think by tomorrow morning will b done samething happen with the ricordea last night :S

 

What are your parameters?

I'm thinking that the Hammer next to it may be stinging them. I would suggest moving the Mushrooms to a different area.

 

I agree with stinging. LPS can have 6" sweepers

 

calc over 500 ( redsea test kit since i bought it ( 1 month or more ago ) read like that just before a wc 15 days period read 480 i think is bad i dnt dose anything ... )

nitrates 15
nitrite 0
amonia 0
salinity 1.026 ( after wc spend one day without topoff maybe thats why read 1 point more usually is 1.025 )
ph 7.8 always run like that
phosphates : unknow

 

so that hammer kill my two ricordea and a rhodatic in one day ?

 

It's possible. Sweeper tentacles tend to come out at night, so you may not have noticed it happening.

 

I have ricordea melt for no reason sometimes

 

The Hydnophora directly behind the Ricordia and Rhodactis is more than capable of killing them. You need to give the Hydnophora a wide berth of at the very least 6 inches. Hydnophora is capable of release stinging tentacles 1' down stream.

This is my plating Hydnophora. The blue arrow indicates the mesenterial filaments that are digesting the Kenya Tree Coral. Your Hydnophora is a branching type but just as deadly.

 

little does she mention the FIREWORM eating it from the other side #allwormsarebad

 

^ Agreed. :smartass1 (smartarse icon ) More of mine have melted for whatever unknown reason than fell victim to a near by coral.
