I have recently added a acro frag to the tank and it seems to be doing fine and I am planning to try a Mlli frag soon to see what the results with it are. I am almost starting to wonder if whatever event has caused all of this is over however the affected corals were damaged beyond recovery. I actually miss using this product, my algae has increased quite noticibly.
Thing is, in the time I had mine i never saw him near any of the SPS colonies, and he did not eat the polyps on all of them... That is what drives me to have some suspicion?

Abcha0s: Yeah, some of my SPS took awhile to recover.


Poontang: Its just a thought... im not saying its the cause... but no one has really come up with anything so im just suggesting its possible.

Thanks for doing the review... and why not pick it[the system] up again?

Cheers,

Chris

Well I guess it wouldnt hurt to put him into my nano for a bit to see what happens.
I may start the system again after seeing the difference that it made to my tank but I found that it is relatively expensive.

Did moving him to the nano tank help at all?

I havent done it but what I have done is add a nice big frag of pink milli next to his home. The polyps on this milli have stayed fully extended for the past 2 weeks and the goby hasnt touched them. I am now completely convinced that what ever event caused the damage to the corals is now over however the damage was permanent and the corals would never recover. I have since removed all of the affected corals from my system and am in the process of replacing them all. Unfortunately this wasnt discovered before the review as i think the results would have proven more favorable.
