I sincerely hope you don’t have the bacterial infection I had... is this the only coral effected?

yeah it is, I cant really pull this coral out as it is 100% encrusted. were you able to get any traction on your issue? Any clue how it happened?

I had been dosing lanthanum chloride via skimmer, but no filter sock, maybe that has something to do with it...

Good. Maybe you’re right about the LC and it is localized.

I think I’m heading in the right direction. I’ve completed 2 rounds of Doxy and I’ve got some color coming back on my Spongode and Sunset Montis. Pictures are in the Doxy thread....

Oh, and it came from an infected coral from the Dayton swap. Wiped out about 40 SPS and about 15 LPS.

if you need either of those corals again, I have tons on them "currently" lol, but would love to thin my spongodes out and a giant sunset that needs to get out of my tank.

well i did just add 2 new corals from the cincy swap, but that was a few weeks ago, I have a feeling it could be from 1 of two things or both. Raising my calcium too fast or dosing the Lanthanum without a 5 micron sock to catch the flocc

No experience with LC here.
My situation appeared 2 weeks after the Dayton swap. I believe my lighting change stressed the Corals just enough for them to be attacked. Then it spread thru the whole tank like a death plague. Tissue sloughing off the coral and/or the coral turning a dry brown color until algae took it over. Very disheartening to watch. I’ll catch it earlier, should there be a next time....

well tonight i plan to do a water change, carbon change, and pull this coral if i can. I hope it is not what you are describing, but how do you tell...

Just what I described. Non discriminant. It will kill everything. The only way to describe it is to look at this picture....
