Stn

Is there anything that can be done to a pink stylopora once STN has set in? What will happen to the 2 acro crabs living in it when it dies?

Frag the healthy pieces off; cut above the dead tissue into healthy tissue. You can also dip in CoralRx.

Not sure about acro crabs with no coral.

Here's a picture.

If I dip in revive, what will happen to the crabs during the dip? They are impossible to get out.

Most likely they will die =/ I would frag it and leave it then.

Question: What is your alk at?

This happened to me with a pink birdsnest about a year ago. I did nothing, left it alone and it skinned over again with new polyps. If you can eliminate pests and parameters are in check, one option is to just break off those parts and wait. Dipping has caused me to lose colonies in the past, and I will exhaust every option from here on out before dipping.

Definently at least frag off a small part so something is left if it dosent stop.

I've used popscicle sticks and tooth pics to chase crabs into a differant colonie B-4

I dipped in revive and the crabs survived. Let's see how the coral responds. i'll have to get me something to frag with.
