Or how about preserving coral for many many years to come simply by freezing them this could open up a whole new science in to preserving life for future generations

The next experiment is to leave one out for a week and see if it can come back to life perhaps the 24 hours was too quick for the polyp to feel affected

I'm going to closely monitor this coral for the next week or maybe 2 weeks to see how it changes and color size and response time it will be interesting to see if any major changes or effects are visible to the polyp

As this sounds like a fun experiment to do at home....
There is I believe one institute in Hawaii that is working for cryogenics corals for the future as I believe its inevitable for our dying reefs. Its a good paper to read I should find it and post. |

had red people eaters I was fragging I cut a small part off rock went flying across room could not find it anywhere 2 weeks went by found the little frag in the stand threw it in the tank coral rehydrated opened up looked normal 2 days later it melted completely away so from this observation I am going to say give it a couple days

Will it last?
I once had left live rock outside mid February for about two weeks to kill any organic that were left on the rock including a large Palythoa colony two weeks later the rocks went back into the tank for a cycle and the palys came back and survived long after However with this particular one I don't expect it to live long term but still looks good so far
