Really bummed out...

[Quinn]

Not as bad as Tony's losses, but still a bummer.



Some of you will recognize this as my S. hystrix colony that was doing so well. I made the stupid mistake of fragging it the other day and putting it in a bad location before I left for my weekend in Calgary. If I had been home to see the beginning of the tissue loss, I probably could have saved some of it.

Can I have a frag?

How come you didn't put it back where it was before you fragged it...

I have birdsnests, three kinds now. Happy to provide nano material Quinn.

Sorry to hear about it, Quinn

For my future reference, where in your tank did you put it, and where should it have been put?

[kuatto]

Is there any chance of it recovering?I had to cut a small piece off the frag from you,but otherwise it seems to be doing well(fingers crossed).
Anyway,I hope it comes back.

Unlikely from what I know. There is no visible tissue left and algae is already growing on the skeleton.

Bev, it would have been better if I had given it more flow I think. I also leaned it against a rock whereas I should have put it standing straight up from its base, but I was rushed. I couldn't put it where it came from because I had to rip it out of its epoxy to frag it in the first place.

Was it a wild colony or did you grow this one out?
