Is this RTN?


I have 2 SPS that seem to be dieing, jowever i have quite a few others in the tank that are doing great? Any ideas on what to do? Can they be saved? I have looked very close but don't see any signs of bugs.

Ya, looks like it.

What are your perams? Tanks setup? Lighting? Flow?

When it starts like that all you can do is cut off the healthy parts and seal the ends with glue. It wont always stop it, but it is the only chance you have or the entire coral will most likely die. When you make your cuts, cut well into the healthy tissue so that you are trying to save parts with 100% healthy tissue

alk 350

Everything else in the tank looks good but these 2, and it came on right after what appeared like a spawn. Last full moon came and i woke up to a milky tank. Did a 35 gal water change and skimmed wet for a day. All the softies are happy, all the LPS are happy, all the other SPS are happy. These 2 are a total loss. there isnt enough good to cut a piece off
Should i remove them from the tank? or let them die off/recover on their own?

Thanks for all the help

Even if we are only talking a few polyps worth of good.........do it. You never know. 3 polyps saved can turn into a beautiful colony with time. Its always worth trying

if you have an extra powerhead I would pull them and cut them as low as you can to keep at least a polyp or two and then hit them with a powerhead pretty decently to get any excess mucus off them.
