 |  tragedy stikes!!
So a very sad thing just happen to me, and i want to share it with all of you...here goes [it hurts inside]:
as always i had a little something something follow me home from the LFS, it was a very pretty open brain, i mean it was hot!!
hahahaha
so while trying to clear his new home, the sps coral fell directly onto the side of the brand new expensive brain. put a nice little cm gash in brain outer membrain. he went from pissy to down right pissed
i have already caught one of the clowns picking at the "wound", little basterd he is just as bad as the hermmies...
thank you for listening, i feel a little better, poor guy
_________

sorry bout the bad luck with the brain but it should recover if you can keep the clowns or other critters from nipping at it
if you have decent lighting in your sump place it in there for a few days | |

another thing you could do is isolate it with a frag rack box around the coral | |
