Dying?

[bgilson]

I went on vacation for a week and came back home to the spongodes back is messed up. At the previous position it would have been the least amount of light. The birds nest ive had issues with since I got it. Since it grew up straight the bottom of the coral wasnt getting light and not opening. Is it to late to save them? What should I do if it isnt?

You may have to resort to fragging off dead areas but assure calcium level is at least 380. Preferably 400, phos and salinity not elevated as well as temperature and alk hasnt spiked

You can also dip to try and stop rtn, but this is most like ya water quality issue

Spongodes is close to unkillable, so I would look for nudibranchs at night.

The majority of it is good but the back part that doesnt get light seems to be dying. Could I cut it and have two pieces or no?
