It's a sad day
 
Looks like I have to frag my hyndowhachamacallit. lol I can never remember its spelling. It's been turning white on the base and now this is growing. So hopefully I can save a few pieces and start over ......sigh

Cut All the dead off....take the longest cut side and zip tie to a piece of rock.....a little zip tie or even thin thin fishing line or thread...no glue... Don't put putty on it or glue or put it on a "frag" disc.

Put it where it gets strong current...but not like a direct storm. but enough to keep crap from settling on anything.

oh and...hydnophora....

What the heck is that?

What is what?

The blue slime! Or is that just from the lighting?

Just frag off some healthy pieces Jeff,and chuck the rest.You should see what i throw away after fragging up bigger stuff.Nobody passes thru here and then most are afraid of sps...so i just close my eyes and trash lots.

Not sure what the slime is exactly other than the coral dieing
