Sps help

jd371 · 05/05/2017, 01:26 PM

I'm just getting over an outbreak of dinos. While most of my corals are doing a lot better, I did lose 2 Gorgonians and am worried these are next. Anybody have Sps's bounce back from something like this?

This Hawkins Enchinata was a real small frag when I put in the tank and was starting to take off with growth and color before the dinos started. I'd hate to lose this one. Crappy picture, but there is some tissue left on the base and around the back some.

bounce back from what..an acid trip?

Do us a favor.. turn the blue channels WAY down... focus and repost good pictures..

But yes SPS can recover... (sometimes in the hands of "experienced reefkeepers" and even noobs get lucky sometimes

)

If its bad enough and spreading, consider fragging healthy portions above the stn or rtn sections as back up. If you lose the mother colonies at least you've got the possibility of regrowth.
