Seems like cyphastrea has a very long light-acclimation period.

This is true, acclimation seem to vary between 1 to 5 months

[What is going on with these ZOA'S bubbling up?]

The zoas are hard to recover, I mean they take a very long time (4 months and still are small and very shy

[What is going on with these ZOA'S bubbling up?]

Update on this topic: 

 

Zoas are now 90% recovered the full colony is now in near to normal health

 

Treatment: 

 

Moved Zoas to quarantine tank aka QT

Very low light for the past 2 months (edge lighting)

No spot feeding

 

thank you all for the feedback!

What is their adjustment period?

 

I had mine since March and its a very slow grower...

[What is going on with these ZOA'S bubbling up?]

I started them on a frag rack on the far left and then placed it same height on center under the light

[What is going on with these ZOA'S bubbling up?]

What could be happening to these Rasta Zoas they have been ballooning and with very strange behavior after being only 14 days directly high on the tank under the AI PRIME HD.

 

1. They bubble up
2. Their ring colors fuse
3. It happens in the afternoon when sunset lights are high on RED

Please help, this is a very odd reaction hard to figure out.

 

Thank you TEAM!

[Zoas stretching?]

Mine are stretching too, yet healthy, they are in the middle of the tank.

Thank you, that I have eead and thaks I have confirmed with your input

 

Nudibraches will start and die (it is safe to keep Montiporas out of infected tank for up to 2 months)

 

So far:

 

I kept all NON-Montiporas inside the main tank (infested) and have not found anymore Nudies, all corals are safe (for now).

 

Thank you!

Does someone have a QT light I can rent/purchase/borrow? 

 

I have a small 10 Gallon tank 

[What could be happening here?]

I can now tell I was panicking so newbie colors showed through, after recently losing 3 fish to ICK this was a bit too close to the previous event,

 

Few words: 

 

Dip and Quarantine!

 

Thank you All!

I cannot appreciate this community more! THANK YOU! 

 

I have gathered all the Coral in the 20Gallon Tank and set them on a Rack, in order to do the above-mentioned procedure

 

I removed and disposed of the Red Montipora Capricornus since it was too infested and therefore risky to keep. 

 

I have set up a QT and will move most if not all Corals there 

 

Questions: 

 

1-Would you recommend removing the Green algae?

 

2-Do other corals in QT need proper lighting or can they live on bare minimum lights while in Quarantine?

 

3-Any filter change?

 

4-Lifecycle of the Nudibranchs?

[What could be happening here?]

WOW! thanks! 

 

Dip them in what type of solution? Do you recommend any in particular?

[What could be happening here?]

There is a dying white ring around the full outer edge of this Red Montipora Capricornus, any ideas out there what it could be? 

 

Normal? 

 

Disease? 

 

Growth pattern?
