Will anemone and xenia and sps make it?

[Brewer]

Hey all,

 

Recieved some corals and anemone today. Fed ex was delayed.... anemone's bag cloudy with floaties.  He was puking pretty hard. A couple bits of tenacle came off.

 

SPS is half green half gray.

 

Xenia limp and shrivelled.

 

Temps of bags 71-72F

 

Any bets on survival? Or tips to help 'em?

Not sure about the others but Xenia is pretty hardy. I had all but melted mine to a single sweeper and it has grown back in a matter of months. Keep an eye on them. The SPS doesn't look too bad. Best looking piece out of the three. 

 

Probably too late now but did you drip them before placing them in the tank?

Thanks, they were drip acclimated carefully. Just checked on the tank. Anemone looks much better. No longer puking, twice the size. Some shrivelled tenacles. Others swelling more normally. Xenia seems better too. Sps doesnt loom bleached. The gray appears to have polyps extended. Theyre just gray.

Looking better...

If they don't die, they should recover. Doesn't sound like they're dying. Acclimate them gently to your light, taking more care than usual, and they should have a good chance.

Anemone looks good. Some missing tenacles but recovered . Nested in a rock. Opens up.

 

Xenia, who knows?! Just wait and see. Same with SPS.

Really look like they're recovering from their journey ! My firework cloves looked really sad when I opened the box , but a few days in tank they opened up and really look good

Looks good to me in the latest pics too!

I think they're officially out of the woods! Color has come back to the montepora, i just got super glue on it when attaching to live rock-- should grow out though.

 

Xenia is pulsing.

 

Anenome is open.

Added a kessill 160 between the current orbit pro ic's. The orbits get a solid "B" for pop, a "B" for shimmer, and an "A" for coverage. The Kessill adds an "A+" for shimmer and pop!
