Lately my rusty gorgonian (i think thats what it is) has started to have die off in some places....I was wondering what some common gorgonian stressors are and what I should look for.....Ive checked all my parameters and everything there is stable....
The only thing I can think of is maybe a lack of food because i havent been feeding the tank he is in since there are no fish in it.....but even then about once per week ive been dosing some phyto so I would think that would be enough for him......and he has been opening his polyps almost fully but not all the way.....lastly, about 4 days ago he started shedding like soft corals do which I read was normal.....but he has been dying off since before that.....
any ideas?
Thanks.
