STN Question

[solitude127]

If my acro is starting to STN, what are the chances of the STN stopping? Also, what are the chances of the acro recovering?

i am not sure what the chances of it recovering are, but i have heard of people using super glue (made for reefs) to glue over the afflicted area to stop it from spreading... i am sure more will chime in who know much more than I... GL friend

It sort of depends on what type of coral, why it is stn'g, and your tank conditions. I have had corals recover and grow back over the dead spots after I fixed the cause and had other corals just keep on rtn'g. Sometimes you just have to make a best educated guess as whether to frag or let it be.

It's STN'ing because I fragged it not because of parameters.

I've had STn start and recover before growing over the dead spots if no algae starts to grow on it. If it does, I clipped off the parts with algae and it will usually regrow

I've had good success stoping and healing STN with a combination of a Coral Rx dip followed by Medi Coral (iodine dip).
