Default Corals that have come back from near death

Do you have any before and after pics or stories of corals you thought were goners but turned around and survived/thrived?

Bleaching, STN, RTN, stung by other corals?

If so please share

No pics, but there was a colony of pink birdsnest, nicest one I ever saw that originated with Shao (smokingreefer) and I had a nice piece. Last one that I knew of. It crapped out and died, and while cleaning my tank, I found a little nub, maybe 2 or 4 polyps. I carefully glued it to a plug and found a nice spot, and it eventually came back into a nice colony. Which, of course, I no longer have

Tried killing my tank with kindness earlier this year in the spring after a cyano outbreak this is what it looked like at its worst dead and dying corals, unhappy tank inhabitants and pretty blah looking




This is my tank a month ago complete turn around with glorious colour

Its pretty cool when you grow an SPS colony from even a single polyp. Cant remember what vendor in the US does that on purpose but there's a vid on youtube somewhere

That's quite the turnaraound Dearth! Do you know what you're parameters were in the first pic? Looked verrry unhappy... Kudos for sticking with it

Heres a couple Chalices i was wanting to sell or trade last year for pretty cheap. Nothing panned out so ended up keeping them.
A couple months before the first pic they were completely dead looking, not even a speck of flesh anywhere. But threw them into a low light are of the tank and they slowly came back to life


about a year and half later here they are

Good job! I can't even say for certain which one is which.

A beautiful dinner plate size when open anemone,that knows how to write perfect cursive........ they are the same one!!
