SPS is continuing to die.

Did you throw out the dead stuff, I would be interested in any dead colonies.

That stuff is worth money if it's big enough, home decorTors pay a fortune for it

 

[pulpfiction1]

maybe some that might be saveable

LOL my wife seems to like the coral decor so i kept my dead colony of mr. Pacman/needle in a haystack acro....
Thinking about bleaching it and keeping as a keepsake/convo decor.

many of them were smaller pieces, no real colonies to speak of. They got dumped into the trash.

Is dead mr. Pacman worth more than alive mr. pacman.....?

I do not want them to resell lol. I just think colonies look cool when bleached. I have even seen some people stain them to make them the original flesh colour.

 

[Reef Hero]

Hmmm.....maybe I could bleach it and then paint it again...
I would rather have had this coral still alive considering I grew it out from a small 1" frag.....went RTN in just a couple days

If I bring it back to life with paint, it will never go RTN again

I tossed about 50 pieces into the trash. Some small, some large.

Bleached white and dead white are two different things. Bleached the coral is still alive. Dead white .. Well that's obvious.

I have seen lots of dead bleached coral at aquatic kingdom.  It wasnt that expensive either.  They probably got it with there dry rock.  I dont think a piece of dead coral is woth that much.

i have some friends that are home decorators, and according to them,  some nice, good size sps pieces in mint condition will go for 50$-60$, dead sea fans (24 inches) are sold for 75$+, no joke

 

[Darryl_V]

Whos got 24" Sea fans?  Im sure some fancy smacy place would upcharge the crap outta some bleached coral.

 

[pulpfiction1]

too funny,ive been tossing them out into the gravel drive way,grinding it up as i come and go

Another piece bites the dust.

Came home to see my millie with a little white on the branch, and this morning it had spread to about half the piece, and it got pulled.

(Glen it was the piece I got from you)

Not sure what the hell is going on to see continual death in my tank like this. I am beyond frustrated and want to take a fucking bat to my tank & equipment and throw it all in the garbage.

Wooossaaaa my friend, woooossaaaa, just relax and calm down, we cant tell you anything new, just bring your surviing sps to someone, and invest in some lps or something and just reset your timelines.

this time next your you'll have a gorgeous mixed reef

 

[Neopimp]

Pull the rest of the live stuff... Different tank r send off to a person you know can grow sps and try and save the rest.

I would pull them all just to stop the domino death streak that maybe happening.  If its a pest killing this stuff off they may die off from the lack of sps food.

have you tried dipping the remaining coral in something like brightwell aquatics medicoral, i use it and it works great, sometimes you need to frag off the healthy and discard the rest.
also, do you dose any iodine or iodide to your tank, it is beneficial to the health of the inhabitants.
years ago i had a similar situation with lps corals and fragging and dipping saved most of them.

 

[Pistol]

i wouldn't put any of that coral in my tank, they need to go to a QT, anybody that puts that coral in their tank is an idiot. no offense intended.
