Dying coral. Can it be saved?

Went up to Home Depot or egg crate and I came back to what I swear, is more white skeleton :-[

 

what did you mean when you said your RBTA "blew itself" - did it just roll around or did it get caught in a powerhead? Just curious....

 

LOL, being fictitious really. He went on a walk, found a wonderful new home where a powerhead blew his tentacles all over the SPS... I just removed the split from this RTBA and sold it for the same reason. I did not think I would have a problem with this animal for the simple reason he had not moved in well over a year. Until last night of course. I would remove him too except my wife has grown very fond of him and the tomato clown that hosts it.

 

This and moved to-----Sps.

You can always frag later.

 

That coral is a goner. Frag as far away from the dead stuff and hope for the best.

 

going to be doing so here in a few. :-/ what a loss.

 

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I would frag a piece and keep the rest in the tank.

 

If you do this and don't take all of the good, live coral you can; you run the risk (a high one) of the entire colony passing. If you frag well into the good tissue, you can save a lot of that coral. Leave in tact, the coral is going to die. The entire thing will die if the good is not cut off of it. I promise, there isn't any maybe or maybe not here. I don't want to see the entire coral die because we want to "wait and see".

 

Good advice. I ended up having something important come up and had to take off last night, not being able to frag it. This morning, completely dead.

 

I did But I agree with you

I'm so sorry to hear this happen I wish it could have been saved.
