Hey guys.....I was just wondering if there is any way to stop a coral from RTNing?
I believe that this has started because my Nem stung my Pocillipora (lost the entire colony) which spread to my digi which in turn spread to a purple Acro...I trimmed like a mad man trying to get it under control but alas all the above mentioned corals are now gone. :Cry:
* knocks on wood* but my remaining SPS have never looked better other then a Monti plate that appears to be very slowly loosing flesh, now this coral is about an 1.5" thick so the only way I would be able to cut it would be with a saws all and unfortunately it is attached (very firmly) to 3 large rocks so I realy don't have any way of removing it now.
Any tip's on ending this nightmare would be appreciated

*knocks on wood* so far the only SPS's not effected are my Milli's, Stag and Tri-color Acro
