new colony tissue loss, what to do?

[The Saltman]

Hi guys,

I put a new colony of a blue tipped stag in my tank about 3 days ago. It appears I'm getting some tissue loss on different parts of different branches. What should I do?

The branches on one side almost look more like bleached

I would frag a healthy piece and hope for the best. Is this colony a wild caught piece?

Too much light, flow? how's your water parameters?

 

[flyyyguy]

you say you just added this colony....where did you get it??

If it was a recent wild caught, tons of flow is the best thing you can do for them along with good water of course, but even then they can give you grief

agree with frag it up if the recession keeps growing. Its been a long time since Ive added anything wild caught, but when I used to buy them, more often than not I could usually save a frag or two when all said and done
