I did not realize that the photo cell addition could have caused it till i looked back in my journal and did some reading.

maybe its just the change that caused the decline. IME, when there's a sudden change of something it usually caused a slight decline in my corals but after a few days, they adapt and continues to thrive. How long was the tri-color positioned at the highest flow area before the change? Did it completely bleach or did it come back after awhile? |
The tri color colony has been in the high current area for the past 13 months. The colony was about the size of a soft ball. I have heard that larger coral colony's don't like sudden change so I can only assume that it didn't like the decline in current and did not recover.
I broke the tips off as the base of the coral was receding over a 4 day period. The tips have been reglued onto another rock and the coral is still alive but white. I can just see some light green in the polyps again. So hopefully it is comming back as it was one of my most favourite acros I have.
