So it looks like something has taken a bite out of my Kenya Tree any idea what could have done this? I have Yellow watchman goby Bicolor Angel Purple fire fish Yellow tail damsel Perc clown fish its completely away from my RTBA and no other corals are near it either and while Im at the question asking bit I cant seem to get LPS or SPS to stay alive in my tank ive got decent T5 lights for a 14 gal not running a skimmer but thinking about it even though Mark said don't worry about it. Here is my tank stats Temperature:72F pH: 8.2 Salinity: 1.024 SG Alkalinity: 13.2 Calcium: 520 Magnesium: 1600 Nitrate: 0 Nitrite: 0 Ammonia: 0  ------------- Blub Blub |

I agree with Darren. IF it was a fish then it was the angel. -------------  |

I agree about the angel being the culprit. Temp seems 2-4* low. Try not to let the temp fluctuate more than a degree or two. Cal/Alk/Mag are a touch high. Do a water change. Test kit could be off. Just my 2 cents. I too am learning how to stabilize my perameters. |

It could be the angel but it could just be fragging itself. I've seen Kenya and pulsing xenia do this. Have you noticed any pieces lying around? ------------- Marie |
