Brain in Pain?!

[jamiev3]

I have noticed a small brown hole on the lip of one of my Green Open Brain corals. It has a few brown strands coming out of it, I would describe it as a "rotting spot". Seems like a bad thing to me for sure, and info on causes and/or remedys

how long have you had it? mine seemed to have some spots when i first got it but it looks better every day. i've only had mine for a week though. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

Ive only had it about a week also, but I did not notice the spot when I bought it. I exmained it very closely before bringing it home. If I am the one hurting this poor guy Id love to know why.

do you think it could have gotten damaged from the way home? or maybe something in the tank that could have nipped it? i find them to be pretty delicate and easy to tear. mine seemed to be doing the string thing one day in a spot but i haven't noticed that in a few days. as long as your water is in good shape it should be nothing to worry about. just watch it closely and see if it starts looking better or worse. that's really all i can offer. hopefully nm reef or some other brain specialist can offer some answers. my brain is new at this also...(i love saying "my brain" =)
