ok so my fungia is showing signs of rescission any help you can give as to saving it?

[jimsflies]

From my understanding, they tend to like lower flows. I assume nothing stung it or has bothered it at all?

[Sir Patrick]

Flow would be my first thought too- but I know little when it comes to fungai. Good luck jimi!

[tazzy695]

also are you feeding it they like to eat mysis and other foods like that

[jimi]

hes low flow and i feed him mysis my snails bug him a bit when i feed him but other then that i dont know what could bother him

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Knowing where the recession is may help.
A few initial thoughts...

• Coral mucus can damage these corals. I lost a large purple fungia when a pagoda coral stressed and released copious mucus that landed on and smothered the fungia.
• If the recession is near the mouth... my orange cycloseris has had exposed skeleton several times after trying to eat asterina stars. It has always recovered from that on its own.

HTH,
Tom

[jimi]

its on if we where to call it a clock 12 and 2 on the edge close the the bottom when he fluffs up it just looks like a wrinkle. is there a chance it wont kill him?

[Tom@HaslettMI]

If its not getting worst or has been the same for awhile then chances are good that it will fully heal. Continue to feed it (a few times a week) and it will heal faster.

[jimi]

well i only just noticed it about last week. so i guess im not out of the woods but im concidering a iodine bath and he is still eating almost an entire cube of mysis on his own so that has to be a good sign right?

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Eating is definitely a good sign. Tissue recession usually progresses fairly quickly... if it was getting worse you'd notice it. If its not getting worse then I'd skip the Iodine bath. No reason to potentially stress the coral if it is stable/improving.
