I am sad to hear about that coral, it will be sad to see it go if it does not make it. Hope it pulls thru for you, but it will never be the same

It is like a death in the family!! So, loved by all.

Remember I lost the base of mine when changing tanks. All that was left was the top and it grew fully back. These are tought, it will come back...

I'm sorry to hear that Marc! If it would help it Marc you would be welcome to put it in my tank. Maybe it needs a real tank, for some reason. I believe my perimeter are all good and when ya have ya new tank in place you can put it back in its home. Let me know, that might help it, maybe.

Hope it turns around and makes it. Now I am having second thoughts about taking out my five year old toadstool that is on a piece of live rock along with a candy cane colony. I was planning on taking a chisel and hammer to the live rock to break them apart. Maybe, I'll just leave 'em together and let nature take its course.

One thing I forgot to mention: Perhaps it spawned, which polluted the water or smothered the oxygen level. It smells worse today, even after that massive clean up last night. I'm testing ammonia and nitrite again.

Very sorry to hear this, that coral has been sort of a mascot for me, something to point to and say "See, that's what's possible." If worst comes to worst Marc, mine is neon green with white polyps and I'd be happy to send you a frag.

The weird color is that it only converts ammonia into I believe ammonium or something else closely related but not as deadly....

I really hope that coral makes it... its marvelous and better then any sps or lps I've ever seen imho.

Do you have any locals with a large established qt system going?

I'm going to meet up with our club's president tonight - he wants to give it a chance to turn around.

that's awesome to hear... I really don't want to see that one go

Very Sad to hear. Hope things turn for the best and you can save at least a part of it...

Any new updates on the leather, other corals you got and the new tank?

looks like a clam.

is there any possible positive updates on the leather........

Any updates on it?

I must have updated a totally different blog. It didn't make it. A few frags were cut off of it, just for the sake of doing so.

do you plan on getting one of those frags....
Its just not the same tank without one...

This may be a new tank, then. I'm interested to see what kind of results I can get without a giant leather constantly affecting water quality.
