Rescued frags

[newclean]

Frag #1

Frag #2

Frag #3

Frag #4

Frag #1 was purchased from a local reef store, and Frags #2,3,4 were rescued from another store's tank with no flow and high nitrates. I hope to nurse them back to health...Frag #3 might be A. Humilis, since thats what the manager said he ordered it as.

Thank you

Sorry but I don't have an ID but I hope you didn't pay much for these guys because IMO the last three look like they will not make it.. You may want to think about fraggin these guys.

I paid a total of $16 for the last 3. I am watching the dead/live tissue line with closeup camera shots every day. If there is any receding of live tissue then I will frag, but since each frag is looking better every day, I will not put undue stress on the distraught animals. I have not taken enough pictures to notice a encrusting of new tissue, but I also have not seen RTN. So, later, if the pictures reveal a STN then I will frag, but with a dremel.

I rescued them from a LFS tank where they were unmounted and laying on their sides, which resulted in the large area of exposed skeleton that you see in the pictures. The frags were super glued to some oyster shells right out of the bag. Then they were returned to a container of water from the bag, to cure the glue. All frags were then moved to another container filled with bag water and fed a drip for a couple hours from the display. They were placed in temporary positions in the tank due to light/space issues. In 3 weeks they will be moved to their final positions (only one move). I am using eggcrate and fiberglass screen to acclimate them to the light in their current positions.

I will post picture updates to the frags conditions in batches each week until we can figure out what they are.

#2 looks like A. gemmifera.

Here are some pictures of frag #2.

These next two pictures were taken on day 3 and 8 respectively. Notice the "hole" in the right region of the dead skeleton, in the first picture. Then in the second picture the hole is almost completely covered.

Thanks cutegecko3, I will consider him to be A. gemmifera until proven otherwise.
