Can't regain polyp extension

[daniella3d]

Well the frag that I did last evening of that acropora and I put in my nano tank without even any acclimatation has a lot of polyp extension today despite bearely any flow in the spot I put it in and the one in my main tank has none what so ever.

The frag was treated with Revive for 7 minutes. Should I take my main colonie out and treat it with Revive as well?

Parameters in my 2 tanks are very similar, alkalinity is 7 in the nano and 8 in my main tank, calcium is about the same 420 mag 1380 in the nano and 1400 in the main tank.

I think fragging it was a good idea if a coral goes down hill for me I star to look at dragging a health piece. I would also dip the colony f the drag is doing well. Now that you wen through. This I would either give some tags to a fiend for backup or start a fragtank seperate from your mainsystem.glad your frag is doing well if it continues to do so I would do the same to the colony dip wise anyways

Some glad I don't use carbon LOL cheers!!!

I think that's what I will do, remove the main colonie and dip it and then put it back and see. It's really not looking good today but the frag is looking great. hmmm..I wonder what can cause this that can be cured with Revive. I don't see any flat worms or anything in the dip water.

One thing to watch that i just got burned wiht is to make sure that you've turned down whatever dosing or Calcium reactors you have. I'd pumped my alk up way too high since i had die-off and my coral wasn't using as much as it used to. After all the chaos the little things are what end up getting you .

My alkalinity is fine at 8. I check it often, no problem there.

I have no idea what is upsetting that coral. I am guessing some virus or bacteria is attacking it since the Revive has done great for the frag. It is either that or something is still in my water but all other SPS are great, including all other milleporas.

Now getting that coral out is going to be a nightmare. The base is now about 2" in size can't even cut it with my largest cutters.

The revive def helps but just seperating a piece from the dead flesh helps the healing go quicker as the infection spreads. Basically seperating healthy pieces from dying pieces is before it gets affected as well.good job
