WOW!!! You have quite a collection! I will deffinantly be buying some from you once the system is ready. How many frags of the blue rhinos, 5 color rainbows, pink hallucinations, g hornets, and electric ompa lompas for sale? Also how much per polyp.

Thanks for all the coral ideas! I know many people do this. Also what conditions cause zoanthids to melt?

Its not necessarily conditions of the tank. It just happens. I got a nice original colony of sour apples recently (2 months ago) that I bought from a local reefer. Thrived in my tank, once I decided to frag it into thirds everything melted slowly. This happened with my true darth mauls and utter chaos. There are times also when colonies that grow ridiculous just start to melt without no problems with parameters, no pests, to fish picking on them etc.... Good luck.

+1 to what Dragonvale said.

In my opinion, there are internal bacteria infections that we have not yet identified or figured out how to treat. That would account for previously healthy colonies declining after fragging when their tissue had been cut, leaving vast openings for microorganisms to invade.

Thanks. Maybe I should figure out why zoanthids melt for my project instead. Jk thats to much chemistry for me.

@k3nnyG- I def won't be fragging for awhile. The move was pretty stressful but I didn't lose anything yet.
