Crocea turning brown

[Cloran]

Was wondering if anybody could give me advice on why my Crocea is turning brown? Am I lacking anything? I haven't changed anything other then I went to a 55 watt 7100k pc yesterday instead of the 15watt NOFLO acthinic

Where is it in reference to your light.

[Cloran]

same place it was when the picture was taken

Has your temp changes alot of the last month. Also is it turning white?

[Cloran]

its kinda getting white in the middle? I have a feeling I'm not going to like this

[marinelife]

yeah you are not, that is bleaching, there is alot that can cause this, Temp changes, light changes, water issues, etc.
Not much can be done at this point, maybe move it higher.

[Cloran]

is it dying? Maybe I could add vitamens?

It lost its zooxanthellae and will not get it back. It can live but it will shorten the life. Mine lived with white spots for years. All you can do is give it good light, good water, and flow.

Thats wierd, it just done that out of the blue. My clowns will run on it once and awhile I wonder if tha coulda caused it

[marinelife]

Stress can cause it yes but it is usually temp and light that are the issues

[Cloran]

it really kinda sucks, everything else is doing great except that

[marinelife]

yeah it could have already had issues when you got it.

[Cloran]

Kinda sad really we've had it for over a year now. Its double'd in size atleast.

[marinelife]

Yeah that sucks, I have been there.

Most likely something after you got it.

thats okay I plan on getting another one when this one goes. Don't think my little tank could support to of them without doing atleast Kalk
