Tissue injury in lobed brain coral
1/5/14
Dear experts, before I start let me wish you a glorious new year from
Denmark !
<Ah, thank you>
I try to follow your forum closely and learning everyday. I need your
expert opinion on an absolute stupid mistake I made. I have a open lobed
brain coral as shown in the 2 attached picture. During my attempt to
remove an Aiptasia I probably bumped one of the heads (upper right hand
corner in both pics) and it seems that there is 1 cm tissue damage
causing skeletal exposure.
<I see this in your excellent pix>
I noticed it right after I put it back. This coral is 2 days old in my
tank. I feed my LPS corals with Fauna Marine LPS pellets and brine
shrimp 3-4 times a week and also add Red Sea Coral Colors A, B, C, D and
Reed Foundation weekly. For lighting I use 2 x Juwel T5 Coral and
Actinic Blue Do you think this spells doom for the coral ?
<No; I think this colony will recover just fine. All will be well>
I would remain very grateful if you could give me some words of comfort
and if I can do anything to speed up tissue recovery. Best regards,
Kaustuv
<I'd increase your regular/maintenance dosage of iodide-ate (by double)
and not worry. Bob Fenner>

Re: Tissue injury in lobed brain coral 1/22/14
Hi Bob ! good evening...just as you said the injured lobo head seems to
recover. However I have another qs for your kind reply...If you kindly
look at the attached pic you will see that one head (actually the one
that got damaged) is much puffier than the other since a couple of days.
The big one gives an impression that it might split ! My qs is, in a
cluster like this, can one head overpower/drain more nutrition than
other heads and become bigger at the expense of smaller ones?
<Mmm, no; I don't believe so; they're independent; don't share tissue...
Nor fight as they're genetically (almost) identical>
Another piece of info...there is a glass anemone on the skeleton of the
front lobe which can in fact touch both the small ones. Could that be
responsible for their shrinkage ?
<Yes it could>
Both seems to eat the Ultra Marine LPS pallets...
Sincerely appreciate your view on this. Always thankful for your time
and knowledge...br Kaustuv
<Glad to share, aid your efforts. Bob Fenner>

| Brain Coral Issue 8/2/08 Hello, <Hi there
Greg> I recently purchased a brain coral (Lobophyllia
corymbosa?). <Maybe> It has about 6 polyps.? However, one of
the polyps will not open (see attached picture).? It seems to have
closed up after cleaning a lot of coralline algae off the sides of
the aquarium.? <Could be an influence> All the other polyps
are doing fine, so I don't think it's a water quality issue
or conditions.? Anything I can do to get this last polyp to open
up? Thanks, Greg <Likely is fine... I would do nothing
extraordinary here... perhaps a bit of iodine/ide supplement to the
water (for the western inertia)... Bob Fenner> |

Re: Brain Coral Issue ??? 8/8/08 Hello Again,
<Greg?> Just to update, the one polyp on the Lobophyllia
diminuta did not survive.? This evening after returning home, the
tissue of the one polyp was disintegrating.? No problem though, I
just brushed it away in clean tank water and put it back in the
tank.? All other 9 polyps on this piece appear to be doing fine.?
I have no idea what would have caused the one polyp to go south,
while the others did fine.? Anyway, I now have one clean and
white skeleton next to the other polyps.? Any chance the one
skeleton can be repopulated.? <Yes> Please say yes!!!
<Ok> Thanks, Greg? <BobF?>

Cynarina question... hlth. 1/8/08 Dear Crew,
<Trina> I have had the following Cynarina for about 8
months now. For the last 6 months or so, it has had this bubble
that has gotten bigger over time. It got knocked over once or
twice by some out of control crabs but that was months ago. Would
the fall cause this "Tumor" and can anything be done to
help it out? Thanks, Trina <I don't know what this is...
but would try to excise it (with a sharp, single-blade
instrument) outside the system. Bob Fenner>
Re: Cynarina question, hlth.
1/16/08 Thank you for your help. I did as you suggested and
cut the excess tissue away. The Cynarina took the procedure
remarkably well and expanded shortly after adding back to the
tank. The tissue has appeared to heal, or at least be in the
process, but it looks as if it is expanding again. Seems as if I
am going to have to schedule the coral for biweekly surgeries!!!!
Any other options? Trina <Mmm, daubing the area with
Lugol's, other iodide/ate solution post trimming. Bob
Fenner>
