Staghorn coral has turned white due to "bad batch of salt" and not sheer negligence.
Howdy,
We'll I stepped away from my tank for about two weeks because of moving everything from one room into the other to make space for my new addition so in the process of moving, painting and all that other good stuff, I neglected my tank for about two weeks and when I checked the salt level this weekend, I nearly cried as the levels were about 1.032
To make a long story short, I've noticed this coral (above most) that it's complete gone albino on me. Is there chance it will grow if I chop the bad parts out? Should I just bin it?
I've noticed my birds nest are also turning white at the base but I think they might survive as all my levels are semi back to where they need to be. I'm going to give it a week to see what else dies and what that's dying survives.
Any ideas of what to do (aside the obvious to keep an eye on my tank)
