I can take them but I think there is a risk in shipping at this point. I'll be in L.A in a couple months if we are still having issues then.

Sorry! Just saw this.
8 acans + 1 favia
They're feeding and shrinking still...blows my mind...
I believe the favia is the SC Vampire and it's looking pretty good!

Thanks for the update, that isn't as bad as I thought it was. I thought we had lost more acans. Are some of the acans fragged now? Are they back to a holding pattern where they are not getting worse, but not better?

They're individual pieces. No duplicate frags at this point.
Honestly, I don't see them surviving either way based on what I've seen as much as I hate to say it. They're shrinking enough that I notice it.

Unfortunately it looks like we lost the orange/white one I added in over the past couple days while I've been away. I'll grab a shot later when the lights come on.

We need to come up with a solution. What are we going to do? I don't want to see any more frags dying..Lets all figure this out before it to late!!

I totally agree, unfortunately I don't see them making it through shipping.
I'm actually setting up a 6 gallon tank I have right now to get them out of the main system. We'll see if it helps at all...

Does anyone live near a major airport? If we want to reduce transit time, Not as easy as FedEx, but you can ship freight and the frags would be able to be picked up within a couple hrs of shipping. I did this w my lr. Just throwing it out as a possible idea to ship with least impact since frags are stressed.
I'd be happy to look into pricing/ logistics if we want to go that route and figure who is going to take them. I don't live near a large airport.

I'm an hour away from an airport. I don't know if July is too late but I'll be in L.A. the week of 7/22 and can pick up if they make it that long.

Got back yesterday and I don't think I'll be able to keep the 6 gallon stable enough as is and I don't have an extra controller.
Looks like 2 more of the pieces are on their last leg, they both look like the polyps are separating from the base and about to float off....
On a good note the favia and 3 of the pieces are actually looking pretty good. Pics to come once I clean up and do a wc.

bacteria infection can lay waste to an entire acan collection. Dipping the individual frags a couple of times a day will get rid of the bacteria and save what you have left. sorry i didn't see this earlier. my friend salty dog had a problem with his acans and did it, I just forgot what he dipped them in. also, cherry corals can help you if you contact them for the dip sollution info. gl

Thanks, I did not realize they should be dipped repeatedly, especially multiple times in a single day.
Everyone for trying additional Furan-2 dips? Anyone object?
