brain coral

[mm2meyer]

yesterday i found that my brain coral had separated itself from its skeleton. it still looks good but i dont know why it has done this and i cant find any info on it. any suggestions?

Is there too much flow on it causing it to come loose. I don't think it's a good thing.

 

[Bifferwine]

Yeah, that happened to my first brain that I ever had. Same thing. It just ripped off the skeleton. It was in too much flow.

 

[mm2meyer]

it was in an area with almost no flow at all.

Something made it extremely un-happy.So what you got was a polyp bail out.

Was it in to much lighting? Since it was in a no flow area.

I recently put a brain at the top of a the rock, right under my MH and it was too much light -it died. I think Brains are happier down on the sand.

 

[Bifferwine]

Yes, open brains should be kept on the sand. Other types of brains can be on either the rocks or the sand.

What are your nitrate and phosphate levels? This can happen if they are too high.
