JeffG93 October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Does anyone have any experience with this? I've had two different kinds of cyphestrea for years, and now I'm noticing both of them slowly STNing. Everything else is fine, I have a bunch of SPSs. Culprits are emerald crabs, asterina stars or possibly my flame angel. That said, i've kept Emeralds for years with no ill effects, and I've never seen them picking away. Nor my 3 year old Flame Angel. The stars I culled back years ago with a Harlequin Shrimp, but they've slowly repopulated - and again, I've never seen or had a problem. Water params all totally normal. Flummoxed and sort of pissed.

JeffG93 October 13, 2015 Author Share October 13, 2015 Got up at 5AM and saw no signs of a predator. It stinks, this stuff is so pretty and encrusted so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz123 October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 I caught one of my emeralds eating at a sinularia frag this afternoon. Shooed it away and caught it wrapped around a toadstool frag this evening. He was banished after that. In my other tank I added some new cleanup crew and the darn emeralds could not stay away from eating the small cerith snails and I think a couple of little hermits. They would hold the snail and run from me. Never saw them going after LPS but at this point the emeralds are all going. That being said, the stn could be from anything.

sen5241b October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 (edited) I have the same issue. No one seems to know. I do not believe it is caused by "anything". There is a reason. I do have one very large emerald. Jeff, do you have parms? http://wamas.org/forums/topic/75353-bleachy-cyphastrea/ Edited October 14, 2015 by sen5241b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
