I think we went off track a bit and got a bit moral lets go back to the topic
Without a doubt I had response from the coral the next day. I expected a slow recovery and a polyp with slow to no response time , instead I got a fast response of opening and closing but wouldn't heal not even make an attempt
The salinity spike in the thawed cup got me wondering what the ice does to ssltwater exactly like how does it mess with parameters etc
I'm going to freeze another , this time WITHOUT a polyp and test that sucker out and then top it off with ro/DI water back to proper salinity and test it again for comparison
