This is neat because its a bunch of individual bubble corals that I could probably frag into thier own little frags.
I ended up fragging this and it did quite well. This is one of the smaller frags as I sold off the larger ones. (not really small anymore)

And I'm not sure but there's one small head/eye
Still not sure what it is but it's definatly happy.

@NewbyReefer - Nice job! The one you're not sure on might be an Acan echinata or A. rotundaflora. It's hard to tell at that size.
@Bluesail - Hmm...that looks more like a Lobophyllia. Acans usually don't have such an undulating skeletal structure. How's it doing now? Are you feeding it?

Little announcement...
I'm pregnant! Due to concerns I have with exposure to Bayer, Interceptor, and all the other meds out there that I use during rescues (not to mention possible exposure to stuff like mycobacteria), I am temporarily suspending my rescuing efforts. I'll continue working on the ones that I currently have, but I won't be taking in any more. I'll keep posting about my findings, and I'm happy to give whatever advice I can offer. But, for now, I need to focus on my own little frag!

Thanks!! Yeah, it'd be a little odd if I wasn't a girl.
I'm not abandoning this thread...it's almost 3 years old now. I can't believe how many corals we've all saved...and hopefully prevented as well. As soon as I can safely mess with chemicals, I'll be back at it. My husband and I have been talking about him maybe taking over the treatments while I supervise. We'll see.

LOL, sounds like you've got a good LFS then. That one doesn't look too bad, although it definitely took a beating. Watch out for the pink areas...it looks like just decaying tissue, but watch out for pink line disease. That is brutal...and I haven't had much luck with it.

awesome at life
I was given a chalice the other day when I picked up a tank that was almost completely white. Some of the flesh has receded back from the skeleteon. Is has already started to color up a bit in the last week or so but should I break off the old skeleteon? This is my first rescue coral so I have no idea what I'm doing.

Mech, could you tell your water parameter's ? Or if there any magic at all ??
I have a bunch of sps, a few lps and just a couple zoas (only softie) i like.
I have been trying to rescue a Trachyphyllia (4 months) that started showing some base with no luck. I mean, it's really puffy and eats really well, but can't manage to see any flesh growing.
I have other lps in my system, and all of them are excellent.
