My zoos have been doing just great up until about 2 days ago when I noticed 1 closed for the whole day. Now it seem to be spreading and a total of 15 ar closed including 1 on a frag I made a couple weeks. The ones that have been closed the longest are normal diameter at the base, but the tops are pinched together, almost resembling a wine bottle. The question I have is should I start fragging the whole colony (60+) in hopes to save a few or should I just let it ride for a few more days. What I worry about is the fact that its has spread from 1 to 15 in a matter of 2 days and I'm worried if I go to sleep I'll wake up to a completely closed colony. Any input or suggestions are greatly apreciated. I will be taking some pictures aswell to post. Fortunately I got the colony for $20 so It won't a big loss, but any loss of life isn't good.
Oh no

If you can pull the colony out, do so.
Inspect the colony carefully. Use a flashlight to look inbetween the polyps.
Even if you don't see anything, it might be a good idea to dip them.

It would probably be a good idea to frag off a few polyps. This way you might save some if the whole colony melts.
Post a picture if you can.
