Re: Receding prism coral growth patterns

Finally got around to testing the water. I'll try to get a picture up later when I can clean the camera lens.

My tank's been stable for six months now, with low bio load. It's a 120-gallon tank, with two clowns, a yellow watchman, and a few corals. The favia was the first coral I added, about ...

Re: Receding prism coral growth patterns

Just wondering if you ever figured out what was causing the recession on your favia, I've got one that's experiencing something similar.
