Chalice Question

Puffalicious · Mar 3, 2011

So... In my nano I have a colony of Alien Eye Chalice, it's about 4"x5"

I neglected my nano for a while and I didn't notice that the salinity went up to 1.030 until I saw my chalice and softies all wrinkly.

The chalice fell of the "bone" and it's only on its soft spot... it still looks nice but now it's a ball of chalice with no bone...

how the hell do I fix this? lol

zigginit said:

it's not floating around, it's down between the rocks so it's not floating around... it's just a ball of chalice lol I'll try to get some pics

it's never going to recover... it can't eat, it can't grow a skeleton out of nowhere...

dont look good buddy, i have never heard of that happening.

gumbii · Mar 3, 2011

i've seen it happen before but never a chalice... usually scoly's, welso's and tracky's...

lps have teeth to grind up the food... the teeth are attached to the skeleton... you ever had an favia bite you...?

gumbii said:

no lol what the hell have you been doing to your favia

Puffalicious said:

they do bite... when they die, the teeth get welded together somehow... i guess the excess calcium leaks out when they die...

like plate corals... you ever had one before...? have you seen the way they walk...? their plates and bones move up and down... it seems like it's a bunch of popcicle sticks in a pouch sometimes... inside, they also have rows of teeth to help them eat... but once it does, all of those bones that help make it walk, move and chew get welded together...

Wow Gumbii you have some imagination! I agree with Gumbii most likely a goner. OH btw pix or it never happened lol.
