Chalice damage :(

[nayrgaijin]

I just received a new few new things yesterday, for some reason I woke up at 7am, this is odd for me on the weekends, but anyway I went to look at the new chalice I got and it was not looking good at all ! My Tyree WM had the longest stinger I've ever seen come out of a chalice stinging it

I understand most people do Iodine dips when this happens ? Just wanted to double check and see if that's what I should do ?
Also my salifert Iodine test never reads, it always stays clear any tips why ? I test for iodide when i test.

Thanks for any help !

I don't think a dip will help it. The nematocysts are very tiny harpoons with poison in them. Just separate them and hope for the best.

How long was it?

How long were the sweepers?

I've heard of chalices with 6" sweepers

The sweeper I witnessed had to be 2.5"-3" :cry:

I am hoping for the best, it's one I've wanted for awhile ! Blue body with pink eyes.... I bought it from Rev,

Depending wich chalice is it, I have a Tyree Red, Pink WM that they are tough as nails, I had them too close to a torch coral that stung them pretty good, I just moved them to a shaded place and left them alone and they recovered, as long as ur water parameters are in check.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm hoping for the best right now !

amore169: It was the Tyree OG watermelon if not it's the red..... I can't remember now ! I need to email the guy I bought it from, but that's the coral that stung the one I pictured. The blue/pink one got stung. Thanks for the encouragement though I hope it pulls through !
