SaltyDawg Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 if they dont get enough current on them detrius ( dirt and leftover waste) will acumulate on and around them and smother them out. try blowing them off with a turkey baster and moving them into more current if they arent already. Also depends on how much light your giving them as well. I dont know of any zoo specific diseases if that is a concern of yours? Link to comment
ViciousFishes Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I would do a Lugol's dip. It's mostly recommended for SPS I believe but they say it works for most corals. Then move them into a high flow area for a while. They could be getting a fungus infection. Link to comment
nofriendsbz3 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 i did a tetracycline dip on them and cleaned off the dead parts of the rock and now they look to be doing great.... I just have to frag them to a different rock now... thank you for your replys nick Link to comment
WetWilly Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Uh dont frag em now, give em time to recover, no? Link to comment
nofriendsbz3 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 i was told to frag them as soon as possible to make sure the surviving ones dont get sick too.. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 GOOD IDEA the bacteria may be imbedded in the rock its self and may return to reak more havoc. Link to comment
