[deano]

hi all, i have been watching a couple of corals for weeks dieing in my lfs as they are having a nightmare nitrate problem i asked about a week ago about them but he wanted £45 each for them, but finaly yesturday he gave them to me to try and save them from dieing, one trachy and one hydnaphoria i think

what do you guys think are these savable ???

the hydronaphoria has alot more life than this pic shows around 70% is living

anyways i will post there progress in a month or two

With good water quality anything is possible im sure they will pull round given time and the right conditions;):D:D:D

what £45 for dying corals? if you bring them back,tell them you want half what they sell for.

Good luck buddy, im in the same boat got a free turbinaria coral on sunday about the size of my hand, poor thing was just covered in algae. Once algae removed over 80% was bleached. On a good note its showing signs of polyp extension and has a bright yellow velvet look to it.

So im optimistic.

Hey pal.. yes, there is always hope.. 99% of the corals in my 6 footer is saved corals in various stages of recovery. With good water, feeding and usually some good placement they are well on their way.
Hydnophora is a ****** though. Got one that I'm not quite sure where to go, but I'm leaving it at any spot for at least 2 weeks to see if it wants to live
