any chance fish is nipping at the tips?

 

[jerl77]

i dont think so never seen i fish nip at it at all
omly have 5 fish in the tank

 

[D1J8Z]

over dose anything? burnt the tips and they healed and regrowing oddly maybe ?


The fact that the rest of the colony looks healthy I would just keep an eye on it and see if it continues to travel down the branches and if it does just cut it off before it consumes the whole piece and ditch the effected area.

 

[jerl77]

Coral Tissue Bubbles : At times, a coral may exhibit what appears to be bubble shaped voids under the corals tissue, its usually a damage induced reproductive strategy that (may) lead to a polyp bailout. It can simply be caused by stress (as with light shock from a change of lamps, increase in light, sudden use of carbon or water changes that drastically clarifies water, etc)... or it can be stimulated by a burn from another attacking coral.
