Colt Coral questions

[briaidan]

Can anyone help me with this. I just added a colt coral to my aquarium. This coral looks fine, but my Alveopora and Star Polyps have started to not extend out like they normally do. The colt coral is clear on the other side of my 150. Star polyps about a foot away. Water quality is good. No issues there. Could the colt coral be causing this. It is the only thing that has changed recently. Both the other corals looked great and have been in the tank for almost a year with no problems.

I fragged my colt coral once and afterward all my LPS looked terrible. When the leather slimes, it produces toxins that are bad for LPS and SPS. Especially SPS. I don't know if this is your problem or not. A large water change should fix things.
Good Luck!
