I dont get it they say my water is fine i guess it was the bristle worm. Poor thing does not look like its gonna make it idk if i should just take it out now or wait till it dies completly i heared that a dead coral can contaminate the tank?
here are the pics it looks like the flesh is faling of the frame :sad: :sad: :sad:
Is there anything else you think i should check? some1 talked about how my corals looked bleached how does that happen? i dont want to lose another

No,I was wrong I 'm very sorry I just overlooked it . Your kh needs to be from 8-12 I would adjust it slowly by .25 every three days or so until it reached the proper levels.
If you do it faster than that you might shock your corals more.
What do you have in your clean up crew algae eaters etc? You seem to have an algae out break as well so you might want to add some more to your clean up crew as well.
I'm very, very sorry I missed it! :duh:

Ok i will start adjusting kh imediatly
As far as clean up crew i have a lawnmower blenny, about 10 turbo snails idk for sure some prolly have died, and an Emerald Mythrax Crab. I would have got some Blue Leg Hermit Crabs but my lfs did not have any at the time
If im doing this wrong or i need something tell me. I love my tank and i dont want to kill anymore of it off

I'd stay away from the blue legs a lot of them can be monsters. I'd get more red reef and snails after you solve the water issue. Please. do it slowly or you'll make your problem worse than it is now. I'd go about 1 snail per gallond and 1 hermit per 4 gals get an assortment of algae eating and detritus eating snails,"not sure what's avail in your area so post and I'll answer asap".
I'm very sorry again about my mistake I feel so dumb.

Lol im the dumb one but thats why im posting trying to learn and i thank you all for the help. i will make sure to stay away from the blue leg crabs now that i know and i will ind out what my lfs sells snail wise
thanks again
thanks again
once the flesh starts deteriating, you need to do iodine deeps in special solution probably once a day for the first days untill he looks better, and after that only when the bubble doesn't look good once a day. but because it's so far gone, there is a possability of it not to be able to recover. lots of reefer maybe will tell you that deeping is too stressful, but when i wasn't good with keeping my water good and when it bit me in the butt, the iodine deep pulled my bubble coral and lots of xenias through. also assure nice flow but not too much over the bubble, so everything that is sick will be blown away from it. remember that once the bubble has any live tissue left, the new bubble coral will be born from it.
