Trumpets necrotizing?

Can someone tell me what is going on with this trumpet in the Area circled red?

Def been having some coral issues of late-
One on the montis just bit the dust literally overnight and the orange setosa that seemed fine for months is also croaking a slow death.

Happy as...clams..


I did add a new wav pump that is adding flow to that area but can’t tell if issue started before that for the trumpets.

Usually due to too much flow where the tissue is ripped from the skeleton. Try diverting the flow or move the trumpet.

 

[wife jumping in] Husband owes me a $1. I called it. We had just installed a 2nd wav and that is in the direct line of the higher flow.

Most corals don't wanna be in "direct line of flow", especially not if they are close to it. Lots of corals like a lot of flow, but indirect is almost always best.

 

They are in indirect flow per se-but it may still be too powerful.
Will move them tonight or the wav. That may be the better solution.

Ok wav pump moved. Does the tissue grow back?
And wife gets bonus points for retrieving the magnet that fell behind tank (stand)
