My Duncan colony has grown so large that it can't stand up on it's own anymore. I had it on the bottom of a glass tank, and one of the polyps was leaning on the glass. Yesterday I noticed that polyp had a mucus coating over it. It looked like it suffocated, and was starting to decay.
I put it in a cup of SW and started blasting the polyp with a turkey baster. There was decayed flesh coming out, but much of the polyp was still alive, which worried me that it might continue to die, and cause a chain reaction.
After cleaning the wound, I gave it a bath in Tropic Marin Pro-coral cure, which is just a strong Iodine solution.
After the bath, I decided to cut the damaged polyp out. It was a 3 polyp section where the polyps were still closely connected. I used the dremel to make the cut, but could not get deep enough.(Wish that diamond bit was bigger) I had to break off the remaining piece, and of course, it did not break clean. The damaged polyp was cut it half. So I sliced it with the razor blade.
I'm hoping it's OK today. I moved it to a tank with more flow, and put it on some eggcrate.
