Let me know if you start target feeding Oyster-Feast! Following.

Hey Chad, I'm about try feeding these guys. You got any professional advice for me as far as what should my next food be ? Just as a reference, the babies are about the size of an acro polyp ATM

Our Oyster-Feast pairs nicely with our R.O.E. Both are excellent sources of nutrition for SPS corals. http://reefnutrition.com/roe.php Anytime you want to send me some feeding videos, feel free! Make sure you follow our directions on the back of the bottle. Let me know how it goes!

Sweet. Roe is a little bigger than oyster feast, right?! I will be posting a feeding video in a few days. Today was a first try so I didn't bother recording, but the polyps seem to be responding positively to target feeding.

R.O.E. is in the 700-1500 micron range while Oyster-Feast is in the 1-200 micron range. Many people feed the eggs in R.O.E. to their SPS. I look forward to seeing some feeding videos.

Day 15,

Holy smokes! Can you send me some of your miracle tank water?!

 

[b_evans06]

I will be following this. I am currently trying to save a couple pieces from a local reefers tank. An aussie elegance coral and a couple small favia pieces. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Elegance likes elevated phosphates, and low light, somewhere in the 90-150 range, I'll send you a pic of my elegance rescue.

Cool I appreciate the info.

Odd-ball,

This is a small piece of dendro that detached from one of the fleshy parts and turned into a complete ball. It has been laying at the bottom of my sump for a few days now, it's hard to see from the picture but the bottom part looks like it might be forming into a skeleton. I am not absolutely sure but I will keep the updates coming.

This is awesome! I'm always amazed on how Dead and gone some of these corals can look and then be resurrected.
I was able to bring one of my Hammers back to life from a tiny speck of flesh!

Here she is! It's even bigger now I just don't have a picture

I agree, in the right conditions corals can bounce back even when they look absolutely dead to begin with.

 

[Macdaddynick1]

A very tiny update

 

[Bonfish]

That is amazing, thanks for sharing. I have a few corals I am resurrecting myself.

 

[reef lover]

Wow very nice!

How's this coral coming along?

How's this coral coming along?

It’s doing a tiny bit better .[emoji6]

 

[Dilan Patel]

Its always cool to see corals come back...I dropped a 1 headed hammer coral in the back of my rock structure when I first got the coral lol and when I decided to restart my tank around a year after I found it thinking it would only be a skeleton...It turned out to have 3 heads all looking malnurisshed. It has been on a uprise and looks great now!

 

[Macdaddynick1]

And here is an update on these guys. The colony is growing and building the skeleton. Every other day i take the whole colony out and put it in a small container. I then Take half of the cube of PE mysis and smush them under a butter knife until it turns into a paste. The paste is then added to the cup with the dendro colony in it. The turkey baster is used to stir the water inside of the container. The particles are small enough for all of the dendros to eat. Even the microscopic ones. After about 20-30 minutes the dendros go back into the tank and the water is dumped down the drain. Occasionally reef Roids and a half of the cube of cyclopeze are added to the mix, but not often enough to make any difference.
