Not sure what the blue tipped stag looks like but I have the lovelli, loisettae and two pink birdsnests (not sure which one yours is) as well I have a teal acro (again not sure if the same as yours) that I can get to you if Marie or Dave don't have them

Isn't it a ****er that aiptasia and majanos survive this kind of stuff? Ugh.

Oh and great to hear about the clam!

Won't be touching anything until I'm sure they're goners. Thanks muchly for the offer. (I think we all can find a few of each other's pieces in our tanks).

Geez Lance that really sucks. I was really keeping my fingers crossed for you. I am glad it wasnt a total wipeout for you tho. What about fragging some of the worst ones a little and putting the pieces in the other tank? Sounds like you are on the right track tho with the water changes and carbon. Of course any frags that I have that would be of use to you you are more than welcome to. Keep us posted.

Thanks Darren. I'm just going to watch closely for a bit. If the Cap and others continue to bleach I'll frag the rest of them.

Don't frag them if it is just bleaching....everything else being good they can regain their colour again in no time....last year I had all my caps bleach completely white and within a month you would never have known it


It would be a different matter if the tissue is gone though

No, I won't touch anything until covered in algae. I've had a few SPS show new growth when I was convinced they were stone cold dead.

Aw damn this sucks man. You've got the dedication...let's hope that's enough to keep everything else alive and heal the maybes.

Sorry for the losses Lance. Makes a person just want to sit and cry. If rtn sets in instead of bleaching be very careful. My recent rtn event wiped out all the sps I just put in. It started with what I thought was bleaching. Leaving & fragging them, only led to their tissue loss causing more rtn, or perhaps it was inevitable anyways.

Its my feeling that if I had tossed the few I tried to save, {these are all acro,s by the way}, in the beginning, I may have save the colonies I later lost. Just an opinion and could be wrong but thats how it looked to me.

As long as its just bleaching, some may recover as mentioned. Mine were actually loosing tissue though and very noticeable. And man did it stink.

Wish your tank the best in its recovery. It was a very beautiful reef aquarium.
