I bought a Monti frag from a LFS who had been overstocked. I got a big piece for $10. Now I'm not sure if it was in transit or a hidden problem at the store. But upon setting it up in my tank I noticed a flesh wound. Which I hoped would get better. Upon returning to my tank after 2 days away it's worse. Of course. PLEASE help me ID this greenish white wound and tell me what you think I should do. I'm thinking of fragging the whole to save the unaffected portions but i don't know how. HELP. thanks. As i only paid 10 im not too worried i just dont want this to spread, and id like to do what i can.

Also on an unrelated note, what should i do about my GSP spreading too fast? Should I scrape it away? I dont want to loose my Yellow Colonial or my Zoa.

Parameters?

Montipora nudibranches maybe?

Params i know are

spec. gravity 1.024
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0-10 (hard to tell in between colors in test)
TEMP 83.5 (this while i was out, my apt got hot as the radiators are still on and MI is quite warm for march)



How do I get rid of these Nudi ?

do an iodine dip and then frag out the part that is bad and keep the good parts

How do you frag Monti?

If you can't break it use an x-acto knife and cut it.

could this be bacterial? or do most think its Nudis?

just break it.. its easy

ok, wasnt sure if i could just do that without worrying about it getting infected or such. do you think its nudi's too?

used my dremel, saved 2 big portions. hope this works

Heres what i wound up with. hope this works. Pretty good sized frags.

what happend, it looks kinda brown than red
