Is this Acro okay?

[Camaro Show Corals]

Is this Acro okay? Kinda has lost his color on the side but looks really good on the other, just wanted to make sure it wasn’t tissue lost dosent look like tissue lost I’ve seen on other corals, hard to get a good pic with the whites on he has good polyp extension too

Looks like STN to me.

 

[tangtime]

Yep, slow tissue necrosis. It may stop but may completely die.

Looks like it's on a plug and you can pull it out and dip it in a coral dip to ward off/stop any infection, I would do that asap and hope the stn stops and cleanse the coral.

I have coral rx

 

[Camaro Show Corals]

So is dipping the only way to help it or what can I do

 

[tangtime]

Ya the pretty much all you can do, or frag off the dead part, but then there is still no guarantee it’s going to make it.

 

[HB AL]

More like medicoral from brightwell aquatics coral dip. Its not gonna hurt and i have found that alot of times it seems to help. If you where dealing with trying to kill pests eating it then other types like bayer or coral rx would be the more agressive route. Also for what its worth i double the suggested dose with no ill affects.

Okay I dipped it in coralrx because that’s what I had got I’ll get the other dip but I live a hour from the lfs that sells it maybe marine Depot or brs

Bayer. Coral Rx is hard on coral.

 

[Camaro Show Corals]

What kind of Bayer

 

[Scorpius]

What kind of Bayer

Bayer Complete Soil and Turf Concentrate. It must be the soil and turf formula.

And how long and how much do I dip

 

[vetteguy53081]

Dip for about 10 mins and place in lower part of tank for acclimation and lower light during acclimation. Bring it up a bit each week into water flow and light source

And how long and how much do I dip

Read this first to get an idea how to use it. Very important to rinse:

Thank you I think it’s looking better just from that one dip but I will do the Bayer
