Rapid tissue narcosis?

[Southern Flame]

Any way to save it? And how? And what causes this if that is what it is going thru? Everything in my tank is healthy except the chalice hELP please!

I think if there appears to be anything healthy left, I think you are supposed to try to cut off that piece. Often easier said then done. Sucks, sorry.

hmmm.. probably not RTN,, what other SPS do you have? Looks like it came from a lighting or water quality issue.
is the sandbed its first location or the second?

Sand bed was first then I moved it to mid tank and after I was told that it was possibly rapid tissue I put it on the sand so it wouldn't touch my Xenia and water params are all good I have a war coral that looks awesome and now I'm worried about it :/ but when I moved the chalice I did notice a nem on the bottom of it and after some googling its a ball nem

She has t5 lighting but the bulbs are 6 months old an she has glass covers on the tank with the light sittin on top I think that it's just a lighting issue but I'm not a expert. This is the chalice sherita gave her that was called the ugly chalice

[Southern Flame]

And i have some digi and zoa's but I had all that before I got the chalice

[SinisterLou]

Its definitely tissue recession, I dont think its rtn as it would probably be worse. Have you tried dipping the coral? Ive used coral revive before on some of my lps.

[Southern Flame]

I don't have any dip on hand but since its been on the sand bed its looking better

[Sherita]

It's a lighting issue. Too much light. Move it to an indirect lighting area, with low flow. I've seen them recover from much worse, but you need to get it into an area with indirect light.

[Southern Flame]

Ok will do

[Southern Flame]

Done :)

That looks like a good spot.

For future reference, what you have going on there is called tissue recession. Chalices are notorious for it if angered for some reason (usually too much light). There's a lot of tissue left there, so I would say a better than average chance that it will recover. Don't try to feed it, and make sure any hermits or fish you have leave it alone and don't pick at it.
