Below is a pic that I have a couple of questions about.The coral in the left front is a Acropora yongii "green slimer" ...the blueish coral right front looks a lot like the green slimer....is it also a A. yongii but a different color morph. I've seen sites offering a bluish colored slimmer....and I've seen folks discussing them...as the bluish coral grows out I'm starting to wonder if thats what it is. The green slimer started as a small frag that was traded in at a LFS where I do a lot of business....I believe from a local reefkeeper...the bluish tinted coral was purchased from the same LFS as a "acropora sp." ORA raised.
The second question/concern is with the montipora digitata in the background. Yesterday I noticied the whitish area in the center....the outter flesh seems to be coming off and the white area is double the size it was yesterday. Is this RTN? I've never had to deal with it...and its a bit of a concern. The coral started as a tiny frag about 2 years ago...one of my very first SPS additions. Its has always done great but the white patch is spreading and I'd hate to think the problem will continue to get worse. Any info...tips...suggestions?
