I bought this acouple of weeks ago from the LFS. It was almost completely white, but I figured I could save it. Glad I did.

What sucks is there was a purple one also, but I could only grab one. The purple one is now a skeleton at the LFS.

how is it that you save a coral like that. Is it just a matter of adding it to a established aquarium with proper lighting and water conditions and then waiting.

Just interested

Nice!

I did the same thing with a pocillipora a few years ago.

I was at my LFS today while he was unpacking his 3 separate shipments today.....all three shipments were delayed 24 hours each.....

You should have seen the shape the livestock was in.....
People complain about the shape of livestock (fish and corals) that are offered for sale - but there's not much the LFS owner can do when it arrives sick or bleached.

A great spot to see the growth in this species.

Mitch, thats not always the case.. a lot of time it is also because the conditions at the LFS are less than desiriable

Yes Steve, but if it arrives in bad condition.....

It should be obvious in other ways if an LFS is keeping corals in less than desirable conditions.

Josh, yes, I knew my tank is much better than the LFS tank and felt it would recover for me. I have made that gamble before and lost though..
