A while back, I got a 4 pack of SPS from Live aquaria. A birds nest, a butternut stylophora, a sunburst pavona, and a canary porites
Long story short, the tank wasn't ready. the birds nest went white within a few weeks, and canary porites...I'm not sure if it's alive or dead.
About 10 weeks ago, I converted my tank to the zeovit program. My pavona polyps started to come out more and more...so I think that one will make it.
The stylophora polyps were always out, but it was slowly losing tissue. About 2 weeks ago, I cut off a piece that was good, and glued it to the birds nest plug. Polyps are out on that piece all the time. Literally 24/7. As for the rest of it, there's a few spots where there's flesh and polyps, but it's slowly losing it's tissue, even though my tank is 100x more stable now than it was back in January.
Questions I have...
1) when a coral is losing tissue like my stylophora, is there any way I can save it? or is fragging it the way I did the only way to get a piece to survive?
2) My sunburst pavona...where should I place this? now that it's showing all kinds of life...I want to keep it doing well.
