Achilles Tang Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 YUp.... when RTN happens (and it can and will without warning and without apparent reasons)... the only thing you can do is to frag off what's still healthy and discard the affected parts).

FuEl Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Might be contagious..had my birdnest colony rtn on me a few days back (My fault as I handled it after handling other corals, including zoanthids)..a birdnest frag downstream of it started to rtn today...now half the skeleton is exposed.. And to think it had colored up deep pink already..

SRC Member Chris Posted June 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 23, 2004 Lesson to learn....Always invest in reputable brands. For Pumps, go for Ehiem. Quote I think (marine) therefore I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tineng Posted June 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 23, 2004 Lesson to learn....Always invest in reputable brands. For Pumps, go for Ehiem. hehehe....acutally its not the pump fault....but where i place it..... I'm not running a sump and I've put it directly into the tank with a diy pre-filter....unfortuantely sponge seems to degenrate over time, despite washing twice a week resulting in water not getting to the pump..... stupid me, lost a small frag this way.....not too sure if there are any other damage to the other SPS as i spotted 2 of them turing white at the tips.... ....think its a good idea to frag off the white part? because i've seen them recover before....

SRC Member Chris Posted June 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted June 23, 2004 At the tip is easy to frag. Just break off. It may recover, but if you see it moving down the branch, then quicky break to save the rest. If bottom up, then die liao.
