SPS Bleached

[Nano]

Thanks coral I appreciate that. It's just frustrating is all.

Yup, but you've mastered taking photos of your tank and corals and have some wicked cool shots, I still can't get a decent pic since I transferred my tank and that's frustrating!!

I don't like things dying either, been ok with corals, not so much with fish, so just taking things slowly and always researching! I've got a couple simple sps, one that was bleached but still had polyps, so I moved it to the sand and it's got great color now after a few months, but i've lost about 5 other frags.

Hey nano if it's any consolation I think we are in the same spot with our learning curve give or take a few points and I just bleached one of my first SPS too.

Like you I got a monti cap, and he's fine. Also have a birdnest, and he's doing okay too. The third guy (can't remember the name), wasn't in the tank for 3 hours and he went white on me. I think he died to warn me that I'm being too impatient. My tank's only a few months old after all, just like yours.

The beautiful pics up on this site that we see look so great but the owners are very quick to tell you that Rome wasn't built in a day and they've spent hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours to make their set ups look so good. I bet there's not a single person on this forum that hasn't accidently killed a coral by inexperience or a simple mistake. Don't beat up yourself over it! And don't give your tank away either (unless it's to me !)
