I have seen that before on a pociliapora, not sure if it was related but it spawned new corals all over the tank shortly after. like on the glass, overflow, returns. ect.

Either it goes away with no ill effect or RTN from what I've seen. Also hear that mag swing being the potential cause. Nothing concrete so all speculation.

Well let's just hope it's a weird fluke and it goes away

I had some sps that did that when I was using bio pellets. Didn't loose anything that had it. Just cut the affected branches of it bothers you.

So it's a pregnant sps :0. Seriously Thoe that would be awesome!

I had the same problem and I have since pulled biopellets off line. If you hit it with a baster does the flesh peel off? Mine almost had a slight brown bacterial look under where the blisters were. After it decimated my SPS it started doing the same thing on thin skinned LPS. Some are speculating that the pellets are breaking down in reactor and putting a carbon source in the water column and coral that allows bad bacteria to overtake the corals natural imune system.

The only difference with your picture and mine is mine was not just the tips was doing it all over the corals, the coral would have good polyp extension even up to the time it would start to peel.

Wondering if you happen to run BioPellets and what brand?

Like others have said, it might have had something to do with biopellets (especially if you recently increased the dose). That being said, My corals do all sorts of weird things and they always seem to do ok with time.

I don't run bio pellets. It stopped and no flesh came off or anything. It's weird. Coral is back to normal. I think something got into the tank but has since been taken care of.
