Need chalice help, kinda urgent

[rjbesch]

I got a couple chalice frags today and one is doing great, but the other had a small piece of skeleton exposed when I took it out the bag, I didn't notice until after everything was acclimated that some more of the tissue has receded. I moved it to an area of even lower light to see if that helps, but is there anything I can do as far as a lugols dip or anything? Thanks for the help. I haven't checked my params this week, but last week they were as follows
Alk 8
Ph about 7.9 or so
Ca 450
Mg 1230
Temp runs a little higher than I like, but working on that issue around 81 avg
salinity stays around 1.024-.025

Thanks

Ricky

Thats unfortunate but i wouldn't worry a whole lot. I had a a chalice shipped to me and it fell off the frag disk resulting it receding to pretty much nothing. And it came back healthy as ever.

I would make sure it is in a low flow, low light area and just make sure it doesn't continue to recede. Chances are that it wont but you never know.

A lot of the time chalices will recede some in shipping. Usually in a couple of weeks they will grow back over and be fine. I would keep them in low light and low flow. Try to feed them mysis at night that will accelerate their healing

When you talk low light on chalices would 12 in deep under a t5 with a 10k white ho and a purple ho be to much?

 

[Stylaster]

that's about right

I would go lower than 12 inches if they were my chalices! I have mine 30" running 2 x M/H 20k. Great color and I cannot say anything more. Chef
