Do I need to frag this colony to save it?

[jjencek]

I got this Fiji acropora colony one month ago. It recently started to bleach from the trunk up. I would guess 10% is now absolutely white. The image does not show it well, but you get the idea.

Should I frag it into pieces to save it?

I would make sure it's getting plenty of flow through the bottom but if I progresses anymore then I would say go ahead and frag it.

Pests? check for eggs, flat worms. Dip and frag.

Yes sir

I have done it. I now have one larger piece and 10 smaller frags. I have not planned to be in a frag business so soon.

Let's see if any of them survive.

You did the right thing. Hopefully you caught it soon enough.
Sometimes it is still too late. It is good that you have a bunch of small frags. Those should be good.
I've also had really good luck glueing over the dying parts (after cutting).

You did the best thing. Ime when this happens i loose half and half make it so a 50/50 success rate on saving a coral after stn ot rtn. I have had a few of that size maricultured sps do that on me.
