Gusty’s (anathema) red dragon

[Coral reefer]

Anyone else need a piece of this? Broke of a large branch last night...

Would like to have a frag of this, if possible. Thanks!

Looks like red dragons and me aren't meant to be.

Woke up this morning to a bleached white piece. Was growing really well with deep red color and purple tips so not sure what happened.

Params are stable ans everything else in the tank is growing fine.

Only change i made recently is swapping out gilter bag and introducing new chaeto from a clean system.

My alk and pH did drop a bit but nothing too extreme...mostly acceptable ranges. Alk 9.5 from 9.8, pH from 8.2 to 7.8 - 8.0.

Literally RTN over last 24 hours.

Temp? I have a theory that as a deep water piece they line lower temps. I keep my tank at 76

The one and only time I tried this coral the same thing happened to me.

You guys aren’t alone. Frowns like a weed for me and @Rostato tho for some reason.

I lost track. I think I killed 5 or 6. Bleah......

Been a while (at least a year, probably more) maybe I should try again.

My tank water is 74-76. Still dies.

I run 78-80F in my tank.

The red dragon from @ofzakaria was a champ across multiple systems and changes... just not being left out to dry.

So figured all else being equal, I shouldn't have any problems. I even placed the frag from this chain in the same spot as the last one.

Baffles me...

Maybe those are not the same red dragon?

Maybe... i did notice that the skin of @Coral reefer's is darker than the one from @ofzakaria

Not to jinx, waiting for @Mozby s red dragon, his lasted longer than mine.

Mine is still small but so far it has retained its color. [emoji1696]

Welp, looks like mine only lasted a tad bit longer but succumbed to the same eventuality as you guys... this literally happened overnight. [emoji22]
