Dying Brain?

[Kryten]

I bought this green open brain coral like a year ago or so. It had a small damaged spot when I got it that I hoped would heal up. Well, it stayed the same for many months, but now in the last month or two has been getting bigger. And I noticed that lately my sexy shrimp has been sitting and picking at the dead/dying edge of it. Is there anything I can do to reverse this or at least stop it? I only have it under pc lighting, but my candycane coral has been doing fine under this, quadrupled in size in the last year. I don't do any supplementation except for a bit of liquid calcium supplement and regular water changes.

Anyone?

Is there nothing I can do to help this coral regrow over the damaged area? My other lps and sps are doing fine in this tank, and growing.

keep algae and sediment off the exposed skeleton and try to get food to it...all i can think of.

Ok, thanks Grim!

And tell that pesky sexy shrimp to stop picking at it! :razz:

[Kryten]

Yeah, I guess the question there is whether he is making it worse or if he is actually helping by getting rid of dead tissue, know what I mean?

get that sexy shrimp off it pronto! I have had those little buggers pick on stressed muchrooms before until the mushies died....I would say they would pick on that brain tissue also!!!

See if target feeding will help
