Many people confuse bleaching with tissue loss. They are not the same. Bleaching usually refers to a loss of pigmentation, not tissue. Its usually caused by stress from heat related issues. Most all corals will recover from a bleaching event. Tissue loss is much more serious, and many times unreversable.
When someone posts a message saying that their coral is bleaching, and it is actually losing tissue, they may not get the advice they need. This may be an unnecessary post, but maybe it will help some of the newer hobbyist ------------------ Rod Buehler http://www.rodsreef.com |
