Open brain

I don't know about the number of drops. I can't remember how concentrated tincture is. I would soak it for 10 minutes, rinse it in some tank water, and place it back in the tank. Careful handling it because the tissue is delicate.

 

I`m gonna do my best, what about lighting? Should I just leave them on, as far as the MH?

 

lugols solution directions: 40 drops per gallon of tank water, soak coral 10-15 minutes, put coral in tank, get rid of water

 

well dont have lugols but i`ll use the same method

 

Thanks, I will post after I do the dip

 

also for feeding I would actualy recomend somthing a lot smaller than chopped shrimp like come fresh hatched live brine shrimp or maby even some cyclopease

the chopped shrimp may have been simply too large for the coral

do you have pics of this guy might help us diagnose it better

 

sorry to hear about your brain, but i was always told that those open brains eat photoplankton,

 

Well i`m about to do the dip now, wish me luck. Like I said, this coral was sick to begin with. Both mouths are wide open, gapeing! The one side still has alot of color to it, the other side has some here and there. All I can do is try and save it the best I can. I`ll also post some pics later after the dip but its looking pretty bad. Wish me LUCK!

 

how long have you had this coral

and what is your salinity

 

Salinity is 1.026. I got it maybe a week or so ago, wasnt looking that good but I got it for free after buying some other corals of someone tearing down their tank. Not sure how long they had it but I do know they didnt have enough lighting thats for sure!

Well, the dips over, time to place it back in and see what happens. Hope it helps!!!!!!

Thanks again to everyone that replied!!!!
