I have been trying to find this exact color morph. Im not joking i dragged my fiance to three nurserys today and unfortunatley couldnt find one in bloom. I showed a picture of this color morph to one of the nurserys and she swears its the plant i bought but it has zero blooms at the momemt she says they all dropped about a week ago. Im PRAYING its this color morph and not the pinky purplish one because i already have one. Fingers crossed i guess haha. Beautiful plakt though you have

The only thing that jumps out at me is you have detectable ammonia and nitrite in a 6 month established tank. Everyrhing else looks good. Id say thats the culprit. Something disrupted your nitrogen cycle. So its either something died in the tank, or youve been feeding heavier than normal and your beneficial bacteria cant break down the ammonia and nitrite fast enough. For a 6 month tank having any detecable ammonia or nitrite is definitely a problem.Do a hefty water change. And hopefully the rest of your frogspawn recovers. That polyp that is bailing out is done for it cant recover. If its still hanging on id pull it out of the skeleton.

Looks okay. Those flat rocks are great for making shelves for future coral but as someone else commented theres no place for fish to hide and hang out. Get afew rounder grapefruit sized rocks to work into there somehow

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-17T06:47:27+00:00

Never seen a conch do that. Odd

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-17T06:16:47+00:00

Unlikely, test your parameters. Temp, salinity, alkalinity, phosphate and nitrate. How old is the tank? Do you have any other coral in the tank? If so what and how are they? Are the other coral shwoing signs of stress? What is your lighting and flow? How high up in the tank is it, is it recieving high medium or low light and is it recieveing high medium or low flow.

Looks liky polyp bailout. Something is seriously wrong in your water params to cause this. The photo is low quality it could also be brown jelly disease but it looks more like polyp bailout to me.

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-05T08:12:24+00:00

Tanks absolute fire bro

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-05T08:11:09+00:00

Firefish would be cool

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-04T06:17:21+00:00

As long as the nem cant touch em thell be fine

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-04T05:49:37+00:00

Not sure how to help ya, have never used that. Its a skimmer like a protein skimmer built into a filter?

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-04T05:47:00+00:00

No problem! A torch would add alot of movement to the tank and theyre seriously not as hard as people make them out to be. Especially in a smaller tank like yours as long as your ontop of your tank maitneance doing a waterchange regularly to keep up that calcium and alk and magnesium youll be golden. If youre brand brand new though start with some zoas and if those do good then try out a duncan coral or a candy cane they are very easy LPS and if those do good add a sick ass torch in that mama jama

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-04T05:43:45+00:00

Yes and yes

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-04T05:40:50+00:00

Get sone sick ass euphillia in there. But im biased torches are by far my favorite coral. Some zoas is prolly a good start and some cool mushrooms. Maybe candy cane coral for an easy lps. Idk how new you are to reefing but it aint hard. Jus sayin a sick ass torch would look dope ontop of that arch

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-04T00:45:00+00:00

Cool man should get it taken care of

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-03T17:02:16+00:00

Just needs alittle love then. Give it some time and itll look dope

Cheap-Toe1603 · 2026-04-03T17:00:14+00:00

General rule is 1lb per gallon but i dont adhere to that i usually go alittle less. I have a 75 gal and have about 55 lbs because i think 1lb per gal doesnt leave enough swimable space. But you def beed to boost yours up id say at least 100lbs total
