First Poccillopora frag doing great thus far

Got a beautiful 1 1/4" frag of purple/pink pocillopora and it seems like it's finally getting used to my 1 year old 29 gallon reef tank. I can see some growth already after a week and it looks really happy.

This was actually my first SPS frag so I'm really happy as well and a little more confident about my tank. All my levels are pristine and the only problem is that some of my zoos are closing up and staying closed. I got the Furan-2 on the way from Drs Foster and Smith and I'm gonna give that a try when it comes in on wednesday.
 
The pocillopora I fragged is doing great. The original piece we had was 1'' big and now it's over 4'' and it hasn't been that long and has been fragged more than once. They are growing fast in my tank.
 
Keep an eye out for nudis. They're usually the culprit when everything seems good and your zoos won't open.

Is there anyway to trap/lure them out if they're there? That's gotta be the problem if this furan-2 dip doesn't work out for me. I'm trying it on one colony that has to have bacterial infection but my other colony doesn't look like that one at all. Parts of it are closed up all of the time and the rest is completely happy. Maybe the little bastard is making his way around the colony a couple polyps at a time. I did try a freshwater dip though and that should have taken care of any nudis on the colony but not all of them in the tank if they're there.
