Annnnd my tear drop is toast.

And then there were 3 ... 15 a year ago, all long-term multi-year individuals some as old as 6 or 7 years ... and poof, just like that, all done. One by one.

What sucks is he's not completely dead but he's past the point of no return, I'll post a picture you can see what I mean .. but I think once you see the inside of the shell because the body has shrunk, that's really it.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place but have to go out of town tomorrow for 2 or 3 days for the sake of the family. If it were my choice I'd stay home and see how it goes because I always cling to the "what if it turns around" faint hope but I can't risk leaving it in there. So I have to do something I really wish I didn't have to do. But the reef collective is more important than any one individual therein..

That really sucks, I've never very good at making those choices either. I always want to cling to hope, however it's better to remove it then have it mess up the rest of your tank. Albeit that's easier said then done

very Strange Tony, Sorry to hear you lost your Squamosa but glad everything else is pulling through.
It's always odd when something like this happens. It's possible the changes and treatment where just enough to affect just the one clam. Lets hope so anyway
