Nice huh?

On the good side, I am fully confident that this one will make a full recovery in 6 months or so.

OH! MY! Hope this turn out better!

Oh, i'm so sorry to hear/see that...

Maybe frag it a little just to be sure that you will always have some of him if he does die.

Nah! It is doing really well. It looks worse in the picture than it actually is. I don't want to trim off anything because there are live polyps on the underside of all those branches that will creep up and recover the damage. Just needs time.

Jason I got your replacement today.

Update: I still have two small frags of the yellow bottlebrush I keep going on about and today I noticed the polyps are starting to peek out a bit! I may be able to rescue this coral yet.

Purple tip acro-- still losing flesh but slowing down. It may turn around as well. I suspect that when these corals do come back I will have a strain that is much more ammonia-tolerant than the colony as a whole was.

I am not sure why these pieces of the yellow BB held on. One is in the shade and the other is directly under a 400w MH and a 250 off to the side a bit.

Update: Holy COW! I have NEVER seen this in all my reefing years!!! The bryopsis growing in tufts on the dead tops of my pocillopora is actually bleaching out and dying! I hate bryopsis because nothing will eat it (it's toxic) and it is tenacious, unsightly, and difficult to scrub off with a toothbrush. Something is killing it. I know not what. Here is a picture:

Compare that to the one above. Pretty amazing I think.
