Hi all, It's been a while since I asked any questions as things had been going well. Unfortunately we suffered a power outage that stretched beyond what my battery backup could endure and I lost all my fish. Oddly enough the BTA Anemones are fine, Snails lived and toadstool leathers seem fine. What I have a question about is my Sinularia. It looks sad and there are some areas of tissue loss in the larger colonies as highlighted in the picture. Question is, do I just keep going with large WC's every day and wait and see or should I toss the sinularia before it nukes the tank any further? I have a good bacterial bloom going on now as seen by the cloudy water and ORP is about 280 which is low compared to the normal 400 ish the tank usually runs. Unfortunately this tank is at my leased office space and a generator is not an option, so please don't tell me I should have had a generator.

I would run a decent amount of carbon to absorb any harmful toxins in there, should also help with the cloudiness.
I wouldn’t toss them.
 
Thanks, Have been changing the carbon out daily along with 20g water changes. Things are looking up but the areas of tissue loss on the sinularia's is growing. Hopefully they start to heal up soon.
 
It's sad to see a big colony like that wither away. I recently lost mine too which was almost 2 years. It appeared to be rotting and after a tank move never perked up. I took it out and frag it and the water turn brown, it was also rotting inside out.
