At least with aptaisia once you nuke it, it's gone, these pocci's you can't kill. .

I seem to have the same pink pocci's whatcaneyedo linked. I've let a few of them grow, is it normal for them to only be "healthy" at the top? it seems that as they grow the base is dieing, it bleaches then turns to rock, meanwhile the rest of the colony continues to grow. I was worried about bugs for awhile, but none of my other SPS is showing anything bad, only these pocci's.

I got mine from Reefer Rob in Langley and I've sold frags from it to a lot of people since then. So you may very well have the exact same one as I do.

Only the top inch or so of mine is alive as well. Everything below that turned white and then died.
