    Really? That quick? Sorry to hear that. Honestly, it didn't look bad in your picture. They just need a little spot feeding to get them going.

    Ah, I'm on the otherside of the country, lol. Phone JL when you are ready they have some healthy sun corals that a friend had shipped from them. 2 years later and his suns are doing fine.

    when you said you lost it, what exactly did it look like. Unless all you see is a white skeleton, suncorals are one that can come back. I hope you didnt toss it. The picture did not seem that bad to loose it in 1 week.

    Also IF you did truley loose it, I have found that babies tend to grow out of the skeleton. I had a dendro that I bought for very cheap, it had 1 head that looked like crap and 1 head that was just skeleton. In a matter of couple months, that skeleton filled in with 10 babies
