Colt Coral in trouble

[tyrfing]

Anyone have any suggestions for my colt coral? He was huge and gorgeous during my ich outbreak. When I started to restock, he shrunk to about 1/4 of his original size. I moved him to my QT tank, but he's so tiny, he doesn't even stand up any more. He perks up a bit when the light comes on, but not much. All H2O parameters are fine. I keep adding iodine, cl and trace elements every week in the hopes of helping him, but to no avail. Help!

Inspect the base of the coral, search for a hole where a parasite may have entered. Another possibility is he's malnourished. Look into different sources of phytoplankton. Your skimmer might be robbing your system of nutrients.

Why is he in your quarentine tank? I hope you haven't been using copper in it to treat your ich problem. Coral + Copper = <img src="graemlins//dead.gif" border="0" alt="[dead]" /> Coral
