Corals that have come back from near death
 

Do you have any before and after pics or stories of corals you thought were goners but turned around and survived/thrived?

Bleaching, STN, RTN, stung by other corals?

If so please share :)

No pics, but there was a colony of pink birdsnest, nicest one I ever saw that originated with Shao (smokingreefer) and I had a nice piece. Last one that I knew of. It crapped out and died, and while cleaning my tank, I found a little nub, maybe 2 or 4 polyps. I carefully glued it to a plug and found a nice spot, and it eventually came back into a nice colony. Which, of course, I no longer have :)

Tried killing my tank with kindness earlier this year in the spring after a cyano outbreak this is what it looked like at its worst dead and dying corals, unhappy tank inhabitants and pretty blah looking

Its pretty cool when you grow an SPS colony from even a single polyp. Cant remember what vendor in the US does that on purpose but there's a vid on youtube somewhere

That's quite the turnaraound Dearth! Do you know what you're parameters were in the first pic? Looked verrry unhappy... Kudos for sticking with it

Heres a couple Chalices i was wanting to sell or trade last year for pretty cheap. Nothing panned out so ended up keeping them.
A couple months before the first pic they were completely dead looking, not even a speck of flesh anywhere. But threw them into a low light are of the tank and they slowly came back to life
