white out

[1package]

I scanned back through the past couple of weeks of post and did not see this topic. Hopefully I am not asking a question that gets answered weekly, know how that is, if so - sorry.

I attempted to use ICH KICK or KICK ICH (whichever) in my reef to treat a powder blue that would not shake ich. After several treatments, which is tough to estimate due to the need to know water volume in a 210g with a 75g sump, ton of rock and corals,...........anyway about a week ago one of my hammers fell over. Not sure how long it was on it's side, perhaps a couple of days, either way now it is white with green tips. It comes out every day as normal, just it is white.

I read about corals dumping their (something) for perhaps stress reasons. Do not know if the laying on it's side resulted in this, perhaps touching a leather coral, or if it was the treatment. I also lost 1 SPS during the treatments that did not fall over just bleached. The LPS has been white for over a week, seems to maybe getting back a little green - any idea?

Zooxanthellae.

I would suspect the treatment over anything else, especially if another coral bleached as well, but I do not know what the product contains. Does the bottle say it should be used in a quarantine tank, or is not safe with invertebrates?

I feel that most likely the coral would have had tissue recession from being on the sandbed,instead of bleaching.

It sounds like the coral will make it if it is regaining color.

stevenpro is who you want to talk to on this one. he did a study on ich treatments and i know kick ich was one of the produces he tested. get ahold of him and im sure he'd be a wealth of info on it.
