    It's pretty rapid almost another quarter inch gone. I think I'm going to get a couple frags gluing with super glue gell.

    Good luck. If it is spreading fast than frag quickly and make sure you frag above the healthy tissue to prevent further spreading. My stylophora has always looked a little bleached at the base where it is shadowed but it has never spread and still has polyp extention.

    Made about 6 frags. I cut not even close to the dead area so lets hope for the best!

    Quick little update no tissue loss yet on any of the frags.

    If I am not mistaken on that Coral ID, I had one that often would bleach at the base and a few other place lower down, sometimes they recovered, but would bleach again. The first time it did this is when I SP glued it to a rock when it came off it's plug
