I've killed my monti

Ok what i thought was a monti nudi turned out to be a peice of string. Anyway i gave it a FW dip, but just to make sure, i did go a little over the 15-30 sec mark.



What do you think the chances of it coming back are? SOme parts are still a little purple.....

 

I would say very doubtful, but you never know. It looks completely gone to me.

 

Put it back where it was originally and you may be amazed at how well it comes back. In the months I've spent reading threads on different forums, I've seen sps in worse looking shape make full recovery.
FYI you should never FW dip sps. I can't recall the exact term but basically it can cause the cells to rupture which looks like what happened in your case. Iodine based med baths only.

 

ah man - it had grown so much since i bought it too!

Ah well i'll just keep in my tank and fingers crossed and hope for the best

 

Ha ha yeah - i cant believe i confused the string used to cultre the coral to the rock for a nudi. But ever since i caught that one in my tank, i've overly worried and i guess i just saw something that wasnt there

 

i agree, just put it back and see...i had a monti that I thought was gone come back. It took a while....Even if it doesnt come back, it wont hurt anything? As long as there are a few polyps you never know!
