Help! I came home last night from dinner and noticed something floating that the fish were trying to eat. It's my polyps from my green birdsnest! It's shedding them but not on all of it.

Any ideas what could cause this? It sucks cause I love this coral. :(

Damn! Another reason to get more total gallons for my system. Will it completely shed and die or just part of it?

dunno, lots of factors, especially since I dont know for sure why its dying, if the fish are picking at it they will kill it.

that happened to my birdsnest when it got stung by another coral. It shed half off then the next day the whole thing was bald. I was bummed

Looks like it's getting worse. Nothing near it though. Not sure if when it took a fall day before yesterday if it just took too much damage from the rocks.

Run a full set of tests. What is your ALK, PH, PHOS, Nitrate, Nitrite, Calcium, Ammonia??

The frag I got from you is doing great (although still quite tiny. lol). So, if you loose it. I can eventually give you back the same stuff.
