hard coral

[Bob Abuey]

a number of my hard polyped corals seem to be getting holes/gaps in
their base, the polyps/tentacles open very nice daily. i drip kalk
daily, add liquid calcium,stront/molybedum 2x a week,iodine,trace
elements,vitamins also 2x a week. any thoughts would be appreciated.
ps- i dont test calcium levels since everything been lookin great 4
quite some time
thanks

Have you got any kind of crab or fish that may have taken a whack at
them?

Have the holes gotten bigger with time or are they staying the same
size?

Calcium is what helps corals hold their skeleton together. So, test your
calcium and let me know what it is.
