Long tentacle plate (heliofungia) and Goniopora Stokesi (those green color one)

[Otaku Reefer]

Hi all,

 

Any seniors reefers have kept successfully above corals >2 yrs? My stokesi sudden recede at the 1 yr mark, and now heliofungia also start receding at the 1yr plus mark without any reason, paarameters are fine and other corals including SPS is doing fine..

 

Read on overseas forum, these 2 corals are impossible to keep long term and i manage to buy both last time .

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

This coral do better in high nutrient tank with frequent feeding and moderate flow.

Stokesi are challenging gonio. They are prone to brown jelly, protozoa infection and air trapped in skeleton issue.
Try to dip in freshwater same ph or dip in lugols. See if it helps.

Mean time check your po4. They tolerate high po4 but if it gets too high it affects the well being.

They will recede also if certain trace elements are missing in the water. Mainly iron, maganese and magnesium. You can try changing water.
