falled pump suction cups and RTN?

Edit.. sorry double post

[mr_alberta]

Yes, I agree with BlueTang. Give it at least a few hours to see if more tissue starts flaking off. If it does, then frag like there's no tomorrow ('cause there really might not be for that coral).

Pictures in a moment,

I don't remember it looking like this last night though, thats why I'm so worried

Okay two pictures, sorry I'm no so swift with this computer yet and thus don't know how to resize, my apologies in advance! I played around with iPhoto, and I can't can't figure out how to work it.

I resized them for you as they were HUGE!!

I know, I miss photoshop, its this new iMac, I still haven't gotten the hang of resizing pictures or anything. Its brutal.

So Muck, do you think its RTN?

[michika]

The acro is probably one 1.5-2" high, so I guess I will be heading out for some tools later today.

It doesn't look like there has been any additional tissue loss since I first spotted this lovely Monday morning disaster. I'm going to give it until around 1pm then make a decision from there.

Any other opinions now that the images (properly size thanks to Muck) are up?

[bluetang]

Unfortunatly it does look like RTN
However, hold out and monitor it for a while. any more recesion, I'd say buck it a part..

[michika]

I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and frag it ASAP before I have to go to work.

So once I frag it, snip it all apart what do I do with the good parts? Do I just glue them all down to rocks or what?
