Thanks Tom I appreciate it!

Bill, you're totally right about the regals, man they really are big babies aren't they. And even though he's about 6" he still tries to cram himself in the smallest crevices of rock which is likely why he emerged unscathed.

I had a look this morning to see if the scopas was still in there. He's hanging out in the back forty but the flashlight definitely gives a more realistic view of what is going on. His entire back is burnt for lack of a better word, there is a dark black strip of what I imagine is either dead or cooked skin. I'm just leaving the actinics on today because who wants to go out in the sun when you have a bad sunburn. He didn't eat last night, but that means nothing to me as the PBT was out and eating before he kicked it. Anyway, maybe I'll have to do a shorter routine of MH or find enough screening for the full tank to reduce the MH strength some.

The flashlight also showed that there is a bit of tissue left on the undersides of some of the corals. If I can just stop the tissue recession (with the mighty power of positive thought because nobody really knows what to do about STN) I bet they'd regrow over the exposed skeleton.
