help with receding chalice..

[Linesider]

I volunteerd to try to revive or stop it from getting worse..
I would like to know if anyone has had any good succes/sugestions on common practice to help this chalice.. The tank it was in was not prime conditions and i think atleast with the couple dips and the stableness of my tank should help..

Thanks in advanced

potential.... lloks like its going to be a really nice chalice....

That's a really nice piece, hope you can save it and trade me a frag. Recommend you put it in a medium flow and moderate light setting. You could do some iodine dips (lugols or TMPCC is good). Dip at 1/2 strength for about 5 mintues. Make sure nothing can mess with it. Tangs and some other fish seem to be attracted to stressing lps, especially chalices. Try feeding it at night with the pumps off. Do it around the same time so the coral learns when to extend tentacles. Dose the tank and food with amino acids, vitamins, and garlic extract. Will help the coral to heal and grow.

Hey Rob, where do you get Garlic Extract for your tank?

 

[roblack]

Ordered mine from Marine Depot. Probably most of the big vendors sell it, and many lfs.

Any health food store should have garlic extract as well. Got mine from Whole Foods.

Hopefully this helps... Reef's Edge has a chalice just like that, and it's under their big metal halides, doing great. Might wanna stop in there and see how theirs looks to you.

very nice. please save it!!!!

 

[illal]

would you want to cut off the dead pieces or would that make it worse?

 

[Lacy]

There is already a LE Miami Hurricane chalice. I bought it at MACNA.

I think I have the same chalice. Its really hardy and grows fairly well. Never dipped it. If its shaded or lower light the green comes out, under brighter light it turns all pink.

Sorry I cant give you advise, but I have quiet a few pieces in my tank that belong to my buddies. The corals were dying, but in my tank about 2 to 3 weeks I've brought back chalices, monti's, bubbles, acans, and Scolymia's. If you up by my way in Pembroke pines I'll try to save it for you. Or I can come down and pick it up. PM me I guess it really depends on the tank.
