cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 My Brain coral has decided to lose its bright intensity despite the info saying these things are easy to keep. The raised portions, (Brown) are creeping into the lower colourful regions and squashing the colour? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Nah, there is nothing that close to it. And it is evenly spread over the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Maybe the problem is that your brain is just too dirty or you need to get it out of the gutter? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuzza Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 If to much light they will retract and seem less meaty and lose colour.Move them away and they puff up and look more meaty.Or are they brown patchs of decay.?(death) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Nah, she is well away from the light. No sign of decay.....maybe needs less nitrate. Which is moving downward quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 i doubt it will be nitrate. get us a photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The good shot is when the coral was really high in the light. It went horrible and I moved it under a ledge down the bottom. Bloody thing, It was awesome before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 well put it up closer to the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Nah! I moved it away because it went like that up high to start with. Now it wont go back to normal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 put it half way up - your tank is reasonably deep at 700mm. requires medium to high lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Sometimes the obvious just clean escapes me. Sign of intelligence they reckon!! I will try this thank you Chim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 this particular brain coral (Platygyra sp?) needs medium to high lighting while most other brain corals (open, red, etc) require low to medium light levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have moved her up to just under halfway in full light. Heres hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
