flat frogspawn coral

[Luis]

Hi guys.

I have a lot of different kinds of euphylias E. glabrescens, E. cristata, E. parancora, E. paradivisa, etc... the last week my two different pieces of E. parancora have been flat, my parameters are ok but the water temperature is around 80 'cos the temperature here in my city has been around 100 even though the other species of euphylia look perfect as usual, at first I thought it could be "normal" because is not the first time my tank is around 80 but this morning I discovered three heads of 12 dead and decomposing I cut them out now the other 9 heads look flat.

Could be the temp even though the other Euphylias look great? could be a isolated infection.... any clue? This pieces has been with me for about 2 years now .... thanks guys.

No real opinion here that you can't form yourself it sounds like.

But if it helps any, I've had hammers do just fine with wild temp swings up into the mid 80's and only had an issue with them when a sinularia daughter drop grew up and came into contact with them and mutually killed each other in the chemical battle that ensued. :?

Hope they're bouncing back for you now..

Something to think about is high temp might make certain bacteria or virus grow faster, overcoming some of your corals. I would remove what is dying and relocate the rest as far as possible to prevent more infections.

thanks guys.

well I waited until the flat euphylias looked infected then I take them out but the other euphylias still in great shape I think the reason of this was the one explained for Kevin... Thanks again.
