This is a picture of my Trumpet Coral. It started out as a small frag with 2 heads that I bought about 4-5 months ago. I recently switched the whole contents of my 30 gallon tank to my new 40 gallon Breeder setup with Sump/Fuge. Also upgraded my lighting from 3x96 watt VHOs to 2x96 watt VHO and one 250 watt MH. I've slowly brought the MH up to 4 hours a day.
Anyway, the Trumpet has these thread like things growing on the branch area, kinda like a white fungus. Any ideas? The coral extends its feeder tentacles at night, like normal. I know leather corals can get a wax like buildup on their surface and I've seen mine do it now twice, but this looks different. Should I be worried about this?
Tank Parameters are:
PH: 8.1 (Never been higher since I started either tank)
SG: 1.025
ALK: 9.6
Cal: 360 (Raising slowley with Bi-Ionic, looking to start Kalkwasser once I have the levels stable)
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: .05 to 1
Thanks,
Dew
