SRC Member christan1959 Posted March 8, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi there. Anyone knows why two of my montis - a red one on the left and reverse sunset on the right - are whitening from the edges? All other corals ok.

SRC Member JMW Posted March 8, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted March 8, 2017 Looks like new growth. Take a close look, you might be able to see at these white regions, small white polyps which confirm that the monti is growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedricang Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Chris, imo there are few possible reason. 1. Monti pest - monti nudi could be present, please check if you see any such whitish furry small specks of crawling nudis, if have, then you need to treat it. 2. Lack or too much of potassium level - check for potassium level, should be around 400 3. Kh - alkalinity level too low would also cause such receeding symptom Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member christan1959 Posted April 3, 2017 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 3, 2017 Tks Cedric.I've considered pests but cldnt find any sign.Potassium: should it not affect more sensitive SPS first? Montis supposed to be hardy. I've actually narrowed it down to stingers from neighbours.I've put a bag of activate carbon in sump. Let's see if things improve.I've also started new frags from the unaffected parts. They're doing well (so can't be potassium).Will keep u posted.Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
