colt coral
I had a colt coral for a few weeks now and it was doing really good and now it suddenly keels over and doesnt open up and i tested the water there is no ammonia and no nitrites but there is very low nitrates and all the other corals are doing fine. does anyone know a specific reason why this coral would just randomly die?

Capnella (kenya tree) Adequate food sources from dissolved materials have to be present to meet the nutrition needs of this coral,they do have zooxanthellae but seem to receive less nutrition than other corals from them.Collapsing is common. So ? are you supplement feeding or enough food in the system. My 4 year old colonie was fragmented at least 20x then the mother colonie collapsed but babys in the same system were fine??? No apparent reason??? Hope this helps

I had a Colt coral slowly disintegrate on me over the course of the last 6 months. There's virtually nothing left. Not sure what caused it, but I think it was from using too much kalkwasser during an Aiptasia eradication program I was carrying out.
Cheers,

hey
I had coral that were supposed to be hard to keep and never had a problem.But those leathers drove me nuts.Like you said fine and dandy then all of a sudden timber.Shriveled up and gone.Nice yellow and green ones and then empty spot in tank.

I had one that didn't last 2 weeks (it was dyed). When it died it took out all my Xenias. So once you think it might be on it's way out get it out of your tank asap.

I have noticed that my Colt Coral really picks up after I dose Iodine. Just a few drops every 3 days.
