The show case for the last 3 years has been my Hammer(frogspawn) About six months ago I added open brain coral.
within a week the flesh of the brain began leaving its skeleton. I constantly worked to keep it on the hard corral but finally it separated.
about three months ago my beautifull hammer which was budding started losing its flesh first the smaller heads now the largest are.
At first I thought my attack on the aptasia was causing the problem. So I stopped and just did water changes every week.
Little to no change.
Now my hammer/frogspawn is almost gone.
Water test almost perfect.
Only other unrelated casualty was my cleaner shimp almost 2 years old.
Tank is 120 80 lbs LR 1.5" live sand.
Tempeture is constant 78 degrees
Lights are changed every 8 months.
Last suspect of the cause was either the brain was containing something when I got it.
Or the mysterious alge (kelp) that appeared before the arival of the brain and has grown quit large maybe causing it but there is no information on the kelp.
Calcium levels are slightly about normal.
Fish: Hippo Tang, sixline wrasse, 2 green Chromis, bicolor bleenie, Maroon clown,
