Anybody have any idea what might be happening to this Capnella? I have had it for about 3 months. That whole time it has looked like this. It was originally in my 55 gallon and I tried it in a variety of places in the tank. It seemed like the more light I put it under, the worse it got. I thought it might be a nutrient problem because I'm having a problem with nitrates in my 55 right now and they are around 20 so I switched it to a 12 gallon JBJ nano I have. It has looked like this since. First, I thought it was "collapsing" like some soft corals do but it has been this way so long I think that's less likely and on some days it actually has considerably more turgor.
Some info about the nano. It is a 12 gallon modified with 96 watts of light by PCs. The coral is placed toward the bottom. Nitrates and phosphates are 0. The ph is 8.2. The salinity is 1.025.
Anybody want to take a stab at what's wrong with it and/or give me some advice on what to do with it? I considered fragging it to see if the fragments will be somewhat more adaptable than the original colony but I don't know if this is a great idea. Do Capnellas frag easy/well? Thanks in advance.
