i accidently knocked som salt crep in and it landed on my monties and now they have white spots on em where the tissue has like melted way will it spread more
what should i do

 

[anathema]

Shouldn't spread, it's physical damage. Most healthy montipora would regrow over those spots fairly quickly I would think. In a week or so you should be back to normal.

I'm assuming you already turkey basted the salt off, after that there isn't much you can do but wait.

ok so it shouldnt bleach its self and yes i pointed a power head at it for 10 min what abt shootin som iodine on it

 

[shandy_say]

Experienced the same thing. Just leave it alone, it should regain its tissue.

ok thx gys

They're caps, they are like weeds and will regrow just as quickly.

i kno but i had a frag tht was like 5x5 inches tht completely bleached its self for no reason a month ago i went and tested the water instantly and nothing was wrong with it and these are my mother colonies so i want to make sure they live

 

[Reefer577]

Maybe a brown gel bacterium? When it was bleaching did part of it have a brown gel like substance where the tissue was coming off? Otherwise maybe a ph swing or alk spike? But if your current caps are healthy and water quality is good you shouldn't have any problems.
