Recently had my first experience with RTN. Nothing too serious but a nice blue and green Acro frag that I got along with a few other things..
Put in the tank and after a few days it had colored up nicely and good PE except at the tip which was just a little pale. A couple of days later the top 1/4" had shed its flesh but the rest of the piece still looked great, so I assumed that it had just gotten damaged through handling. Then a couple more days and when I came home from work all that was left was a skeleton with some strings of flesh waving in the current.
Ok so now I get that the Rapid is really RAPID...
My question is: When the tip shed, should I have cut the frag off below the area of tissue loss to stop the spread? Could that have helped save the piece or was it already over?
All of the other pieces added are fine, no issues, healthy, growing...
