Hi ladies and gents,
I have a little problem in my hammer coral keeps committing suicide; the tissue of the coral is peeling away from the skeleton. My tank is 6 years old and running very well with no problems up to now. This coral has been in there since the beginning and thrived with several fragging sessions in this time period. I do a 10% water change weekly without fail and have just tested parameters which are all fine. The exception is calcium and magnesium are borderline low.
Temp 24C
SG 1.025
Ph 8
Kh 8.15 dKh
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Calcium 385
Magnesium 1285
I do have a lot of macro algae covering the rock work but I have a perfectly healthy maxima clam in the tank which is fine. The only things I can think of is 1) the recent introduction of Zoa 2) macro algae is irritating 3) old tank syndrome
Anyone have any additional ideas to help safe my hammer coral.
