Orange Monti Cap, 2x smaller Acro colonies, Hammer Coral (5 of the 18 heads are done), two large Poccillopora colonies.
Survivors:
all softies; all LPS excluding the above mentioned Hammer, which I'm thinking will make it; all fish; all shrimps; all snails; feather dusters; and of course all Aiptasia, Majanos, Bubble algae.
Funny how the larger SPS were hardest hit. It seems the smaller the SPS the better it came through the ordeal.

Even if they look dead, don't chuck them until you can see algae on them. Caps are remarkably resilient, I had a couple with small bits of tissue on them, they closed the gap in no time at all and look great now.
Not sure what the blue tipped stag looks like but I have the lovelli, loisettae and two pink birdsnests (not sure which one yours is) as well I have a teal acro (again not sure if the same as yours) that I can get to you if Marie or Dave don't have them
Isn't it a ****er that aiptasia and majanos survive this kind of stuff? Ugh.
Oh and great to hear about the clam!
