A couple of pics of the bleaching.

Blue-tipped Stag. One of my first SPS corals. (12"x12") The acro to the right of it is now bleaching as well.


Large orange Monti Cap (14"x6") About 50% bleached





Losses so far:
Blue-tipped stag, Acropora Lovellei, Sky Blue Loisetteae, Blue Teal Acro, Pink Bird's Nest, unknown Acro, one small colony of zoas.

Iffy but so far still alive:
Orange Monti Cap, 2x smaller Acro colonies, Hammer Coral (5 of the 18 heads are done), two large Poccillopora colonies.

Survivors:
all softies; all LPS excluding the above mentioned Hammer, which I'm thinking will make it; all fish; all shrimps; all snails; feather dusters; and of course all Aiptasia, Majanos, Bubble algae.


Funny how the larger SPS were hardest hit. It seems the smaller the SPS the better it came through the ordeal.
