I purchased a purple stylo in January, about 2 weeks after my purchase it began to lose it's polyps and turn white starting at the base of this 2 inch frag. As of today, the frag is half white from the base to halfway up, & the rest of the frag has fully extended polyps and looks fine. This is the only sps in my tank, all of my other corals are fine. My questions are:
1- How long does it normally take for stn to run its course? This is 2 & a half months into this.
2- Should I just remove the frag, is death a foregone conclusion?
3- Does stn only affect sps corals?
4- Can I not add new corals of any kind (sps, lps, soft) while this frag is in my DT?
5- If I cannot add new corals, how long do I need to wait after this frag is removed? (assuming that it will ultimately die & be removed)
I know there is a lot here, but I feel like I'm stuck in limbo for the past 2 plus months!
Thank you in advance for any expertise you have to offer.
P.S. I do not have a QT tank to relocate the frag to
