I hope it makes babies also though does it just move and leave part of itself like mushrooms??

 

[jboone82590]

From what I herd when it dies the babies come out of its mouth but I haven't seen any yet

It may not hurt to give them a five minute dip in Coral RX. I had a similar experience and this worked for me. I'm definitely no expert but pretty sure five minutes or so can't hurt.

 

[jboone82590]

Awesome Thanks

Does coral RX need to be kept cold?

 

[1fishjones]

No

That's what I figured just thought I'd ask thanks

So I rescaped my tank about a week ago or so and I put a little CPR HOB refug on the back and in doing that I moved the 2 plates to the back and they are starting to get there color back and look good again.
But what is it doing? I have seen it get puffed up before but I don't think it's been this big

Remember when dipping is the temp change just think you take coral out of tank at a temp of 78 then dip in colder solution wow what a shock try to get dip same temp as tank.

He has been in there for a week or more and has slowly gotten his color back and it just got that big out of no where.
