Yeah I have to agree with you there Brad, it seems like more and more as time goes on. Maybe one reason for this increase is due to all the aquacultured corals, I mean if we all have corals and rock from different regions of the world, eventually I'm sure we would be spreading a wider variety of bugs within our systems. So maybe we need to all start quarintining or treating our frags before we buy or sell them
Goodluck with the transfer, I prey to the coral gods that all go's well for ya. I'm sure all those corals you gave away or traded will find a way back into your new tank, except for Steve that is-you may have a hard time prying some of those prized colonies out of his fins
Also, when I took out the purpletip bottlebrush tonight for a 2nd closer inspection, I found another small flatworm on the base. I made a drastic decission to cut the table branches off the mother stalk, I know this is risky but I didn't see any other choice. The tissue loss has taken at least two weeks to cause concern. Now however I am worried as this is my second sps coral which is two years old and in the last 6 months I saw some amazing growth patterns. I kinda know how you feel, just in a lot smaller scale
All the best!
