Yeah, I am kinda numb at this point but still trying hard to figure out a cure. I haven't taken any carbon out b/c the stuff currently in the bags are somewhat old. I just won't replace as much or any at all once I take them out. I'll still need the stuff at the skimmer output to clean up the ozone though.

Yep, it'll be tough trying to replace him. Hopefully I can find another as beautiful.

Yeah, I still have the netting but it somehow slipped through between the netting and one of the center bracing. BTW, thanks for the cool chalice. I like it

It was totally fun. Thanks for helping to promote the AFC - Angler Fight Club!!! :lol:
They are happily back in their home. Looks like I'll keep them around. Just too much fun to give up. I think I am going to make them a part of swaps from now on. I'll make a custom acrylic fight ring so they'll have more room to roam around and chase their prey in. We'll have schedule bouts throughout the day and maybe take some bets :eek2:

I think i set up a small tank with cephalopod (like a sepia officinalis)and maybe a mantis. We'll have ourselves quite a show.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll hold off for a bit on finding another, unless I just happen to come across a nice specimen that I couldn't pass up. Currently in the process of looking to add a few other different fish that are a bit higher on the priority list

LOL........that would be awesome. We can have "showings" every hour on the hour alternating between our freak shows :lol2:

Well, the bad news bears are back. Another large colony is almost half gone and I had to pull it out. Another one has a dead branch so I'll keep a close eye on it. If it gets bigger, it'll go also, which is almost a certainty

Kenny, I know its not really a crap shoot and there in no real evidence, but have you done any research into pathogens. I know kip had similar problems awhile back and his tank never recovered. I have also always wondered about pathogens from newer collection areas.

Mark, I've long ago suspected it's a pathogen of some sort, just no real way to prove it. Not holding out much hope that any of my Acros will survive this ordeal when this "thing" runs it's course. Right now, I am just trying to enjoy what's left and snap pix of the ones that still look good and healthy. That memory will live on.

Shots of the colony that was taken out yesterday.

Here is the other one with a dead branch. It has spread a bit onto another branch that was touching it this morning.

This one still looks healthy and has good colors. It might be the last hold out based on it's current condition.

Kenny, if it's pathogen of sort, logically I would think you could cut out healthy parts of the corals off and house them in a totally different system to see if they survives. If non of them survive then perhaps they infected within the corals. But without trying that we would never know if it's your system or something within the corals themselves.
Just thinking out loud, perhaps you've tried this already.

I did set up that other small tank and it has a 250 halide........but it's currently at 67 though......

Thanks Dan. Me too. I am just waiting for the inevitable.
