The achilles still tries to keep him in the hole but the CBB is no longer intimidated.CBB has figured out how to just slip out of the tangs way when he comes zipping by...most of the time, sometimes he misjudges and then there is a game of "chase me charlie" around the rockwork.

Here is a pic of a casualty of my recent tank troubles. This poor thing has no polyps, just holes where the polyps used to be. I don't know if it's going to make it or not, can a coral survive with no polyps?.
You can see where cyano has settled on any bare skeleton showing but most of the coral is still there

Beautiful 175g Bowfront, as always.

The tank looks awesome.

Sorry about the coral. It's in pretty rough shape but you never know, it could turn around. I guess it depends on what caused the stress and if it's able to overcome that. I have the same thing going on. Just randomly pieces that were doing really well, will suddenly succumb and look like that. The holes are dead polyps or basically what's left after the polyp is gone. I have had 3 frags this week alone that suddenly declined. I'll probably lose them all.

Good luck.

What kind of anemone is that?

Even if it's pure white, it can come around. I had a colony go snow white on me, no polyps, etc, but I couldn't reach it well enough to worry about pulling it out. 3 months later it colored up again and started growing. A good test if you can remove it is smell it to see if it still has tissue.

It's brown, still has tissue just no polyps and has been like this (except for a little bit of tissue loss that is covered in cyano) since Jan.
Because it has encrusted onto the rock and another coral beside has grown into it, it's going to have to remain there whether I want it to or not
