I have two colonies RTN yesterday. I haven't had that happen for years... I should have seen it coming. One colony was having some trouble, and when it went it took out the healthy colony right beside it.

Fortunately, I had already fragged the original colony and was able to carve off 5 small frags from the other colony last night.

In case anyone out there thinks this has anything to do with water quality... The original frag in the frag tank is doing fine and is part of the same system.

Sorry, too busy saving stuff to take pics.

Interesting... makes me wonder why anyone keeps sps. Well at least you saved a frag. On a side note your tank still ranks up with my favorites so much we are building a similar system right now hope we can one day also have to beautiful large tangs and large colonies.

It is a shame to only update this thread with bad news....but tonight I lost my bicolor angel (Jeckyl) after 5.5 years in the tank. It appears to have been a violent, sudden end...probably made a high-speed wrong turn during a chase from my majestic angel. Those two had been doing that quite a bit over the past month or so.
