Ok, this is a painful post...

...I came back from a trip to BC on Aug 17th to find a frag fell down and was standing upside down like a frickin tripod ON my frickin Scoly! :eek: Never in my life have I ever seen another 3-mouth Scoly. I don't think I'm going to save it, and if I do I doubt it will still have 3 mouths. Here it is today as I am slowly losing the battle:

On the brighter side, through the tears I can see some up and coming pieces:

that sucks about the scoly Mindy.....I feel for ya.....similar thing happened to mine......except my mishap was a frog spawn and the scoly slowly died over a couple weeks.....I knew it was going to die so I snagged another one from the shop:redface:

That sucks :sad:

Mindy those scolys are extremely hardy, I came back from holidays and mine was completely buried. I had shrunk down the probably a dime size and now its back to full size. Took about 3 months or so to recover tho.

The mouths are gaping on it Wes and it won't eat, I think it's a goner.

It was showing feeder tentacles so I was feeding it some Fauna Marin LPS pellets, but it wouldn't eat them. I received some New Era pellets and have been trying to feed it those, but it won't take them either. I tried PE mysis, no luck. My brine shrimp eggs aren't hatching, otherwise I was going to feed it some NHBBS. I will try some frozen foods today. It grabs onto the food, but then lets go.

I moved it yesterday to a place with less flow but more light.

When we were on holidays, Mom allowed an acan to topple onto a totally P**sed-off frogspawn. :sad:
Sometime you just need to let it be. It may not feel like eating for a while, poor thing. But I have seem some that did come back, albeit after a long while. Maybe worth keeping at a corner and see if it heals.

My tank isn't a very good LPS tank right now. I'm having troubles with a few brains over the last 6 months. I had a healthy looking Lobo slowly recede to death for no apparent reason, and I have a Symphyllia that's slowly receding real bad right now and I have no idea why. So I'm worried that whatever has been ****ing off those brains may affect the recovery of this Scoly. The Scoly has been off in a corner up until yesterday I traded it to a place where an Acan echinata was real happy. I am actually looking at some of my Asterina starfish lately and wondering if one of them is predatory. I was fighting a cyano outbreak for awhile too after coming back home, but it is under control now.

Well, you might have gotten to the LNS where LPS don't do well, and your SPS are.

Best of luck.

Thanks ALang! :) I wish I was at LNS, but I'm still making up for being away for most of the last year and a half. The tank has really suffered in that time. There was a layer of detritus on the sand, and a layer of cyano on top of that! I cheated and used ChemiClean to zap the cyano a couple days ago. Now I'm at home permanently I can do the maintenance on the tank and get it back into shape. It could be the toxins that cyano releases that were affecting the LPS. Combine that with a lack of carbon, and that could be the issue. Fresh carbon a week ago, fresh GFO today...things should be turning around soon!

Sorry to hear about your Scoly Mindy. It's a beauty too. :sad: I had almost the same thing happen to me. A large turbo snail pushed my scoly over and it landed upside down onto a hydnophora. Needless to say, it was fried! Hopefully yours comes back for you.
