My tree coral changed from a dark green, to brown to a very light light
yellow green. I noticed yesterday the color changing from the bottom up.
By this morning it is all yellowy green. My first thought was it is dead....Rapid Tissue Degeneration so I removed it from the tank and placed it in my quaranteen tank till I came to grips with its passing. I have a few dead cycled corals in the guaranteen tank that are very white in color. My stoney looks very different from them in color. (I wish I could post a pic but I dont know how. I can email pics. (they are very blurry though)
Question: Although the color change is not White, can this still be a RTD? or
on a more hopeful note, do these corals "shed" their skin?
One more piece of info: Next to this coral was a smaller coral (same type)
mounted side by side. The smaller coral did not go through this process. I separated them to save the smaller piece. The smaller piece does have some light green color on the back sides of it. Some it its tips are white. On the whole it is still dark green.
Any ideas of what I got happening.. Death or ?????
Again, the color change was rapid.
Sorry my explanantion may be confusing....i am a newbie.
