No..the time line is incorrect. It is now a long time out from the auction but I have had the corals about a week. I haven't had polyp extension on 3 of the sps frags and only one piece has "refected" a colored hue under the actinics. Midweek I noticed the ends of one frag were going white along with a section at the base. This frag was pale for a section of each branchlet from the beginning but there was no marked line of deliniation from dark to light at first. I could not visualize any pests. So far other frags have no white areas and I have moved the frag with the colorless areas to a place that is a bit lower in the tank to see if it does better in a bit lower light as I have recently changed out the metal halides.I would like to help this frag fluorish ..if you can suggest other things I can do I would be happy to try.

hate to be the prick but welcome to sps. The one your talking about white spots sounds more like bleaching than tissue loss. You will notice tissue falling off of the piece if it has either rtn or stn. As for PE (polyp extension), don't worry about it yet. PE isn't his problem but more issues with your tank. Look over all over your parameters for starters. But the rule of thumb with sps is to be patient. I have some corals that have taken months to color up and show signs of PE. Everyone looses sps, and when you lose a frag don't get to worried about it. But at this point i would just let them be, they have had a stressful ride
From the sounds of it, everything was taken care of by the person who recieved your corals since he had them for a while. |

Agree with LorenzO, pending placement and lighting, sps may not colour for several weeks, the majority of the sps I received from John last month are just starting to show true colours.

I agree. decent PE extension always takes time and after the stress these frags have been through; i would expect them to take a while to flourish. I still have frags from a Vendor that i have had for 2 months and they are only just beginning to take off.. Simon

Has Dave @ Wicked Frags gone on Holiday? I notice he hasn't been active on here for 7 days or on Reef Central?
I won't go into any details but need to speak with him? Simon..
