STN and RTN

[kirru]

Slow and Rapid Tissue Necrosis



What causes these two and what is the best way to prevent it from happening?


I ask cause a few of my corals who do awesome in one spot and then I move them to another spot, cause they are frags, tend to have it happen to them. But could it also be the corals I am placing them next too?

Specifically now, I have a Cat's Paw coral from Tim at Keen Reef, it has been in my tank for a month and a half and has been doing great, recently I moved it next to a mushroom and pink birds nest and near a Blue milli. Now, the side that was closest to the mushrooms is turning white, I moved it away to see if I could get it to heal but I am baffled. Also, I moved it to that spot to see if I could get some of the color back in to it, as it was near the bottom, I moved it midway.

Any thoughts??

I suspect chemical warfare with the mushrooms.

Jin (FutureInterest) has a really good article about which corals win/lose in a fight on here somewhere.

mushrooms will murder SPS.

Thank you! I knew it was there, but couldn't find it.

OK, cool. I knew it was here somewhere but couldn't find it. Ok, so I will adjust locations and now the sps is far away from the SPS so hopefully it will recover soon!!! Yea!

What can you do after STN creeps in?

Will fragging the infected area solve the problem?

how do STN&RTN affect softies?

I've heard you can put super glue on the affected coral (over the dead part and up on the flesh a little bit) and it will either stop it or slow it down..

 

[rbredding]

is it an infection of some sort?

will it move from coral to coral?
