Honesty in reefing, 24 hours, the dark one is the blue stag, I added the carbon a day or 2 late, @erk you were right, I was out of media bags and wasn't about to sacrifice my best stockings!
I will do some frags but that looks like core damage.

It is frightening how fast upset leathers can destroy other corals. Since I've been running carbon 24/7, haven't had too many issues. I switched to the ROX 0.8 stuff from BRS though. Noticed my yellow tang getting a bit of HLLE when running the standard stuff. I run at the recommended dosing, which isn't much. Like 2-3 tablespoons. I actually 3D printed a little canister that holds my tanks dosage. Makes changing out the carbon easy.

@erk I would be very interested in such a device.

@erk I would be very interested in such a device.

I don't have any images of the actual canister. Here are some images of the 3D model. I made it from PLA and haven't seen it start to degrade yet. I sized the outside diameter exactly for the 2 inch media reactors from BRS. Been using it for about a month now.

I now have an RW 15 flat out on else mode in the display, moved the diffuser and an acro.

Love emperors when they are little. What a cutie that baby is. Pulling for scopas work the differences out

I will grow it out a bit in the little tank, it will be the last angel to go in this tank, waiting for the money to do a bigger tank for some fish!

I saw the same C reference used 3 days ago in a post, got off scott free, @bubbaque thank you for the thought, I don't need badges I just need to not get banned!

I have thought about the black sun coral more, this is starting to weigh on me heavier recently, I will try and rescue anything, the failures hurt every time, not sure I can take much more of ill managed coral choices and placements.
I know what I can sustain?!

I have rescued a black sun coral and it’s quite straightforward. Yours looks in a bit worse shape than mine was but with some tlc I’m sure you can bring it round again. I started by feeding mine outside of the tank, enouraging the polyps to extend better and then continued in tank as normal. All of the stripped branches/head recovered and now you’d never know it was at deaths door. Best of luck.

This has been in the lfs for a couple of months, it arrived in England with my two pieces, I will leave it to settle.

I cut the 3 blue stag frags short and glued them well, 2 of the 3 are letting go.

Brighter news, the cbb has started exploring the whole display this morning.
It finished off aip 3 (that I know of) and is dealing with another.
The y scopas has settled well with the cbb, it gets chased away if it goes near her cave and that's it.
S scopas is still being feisty when she is in the display but just posturing mostly.
Oh and the black lipstick is looking positively chubby!

"OK guys, general fish language tank alert!
You were all informed about me moving that small branch and that I would need a pic of it!
Who forgot to tell the clown? Come on, fins up!"

 

[najer]

And there she was gone!

New position of the hand skeleton rock, now I have ideas again!
But the skeleton is my purple branching cyphastrea, sun corals do sting!

7 months ago, one of my DT had a kinked hose from chiller, Where it set up I don't live there so I have to go once a week to check up on the tank. So when I found the issue, everything pretty much cooked. I had yellow, orange , black sun cup corals and of course some softies. I kept all the live rock now dead rock so I thought. Well on the new display tank I put in some of that rock and one especially which was a branching black sun cup Coral and it looked like it had nothing on it , come to find out 3 months later I have like six little black polyps some large some small , moral of the story is, no matter how bad and sick any sun cup Coral looks like , there's hope.

Hate when I am at the shop and hear "Simon, fancy a rescue!".
I believe most of this was a tube nem but it also looks like it might have been chewed!?
I will leave it for 2 weeks, unless it gets worse and then frag any healthy bits.

That not bad, needs time and good feeding

I am a sucker for a rescue!

Stood the clam up earlier and packed some sand around it, it didn't even close, looks way happier now!
