if you have a loose rock you could try an non ph balanced stupid cold freshwater dip. then work back to a temp controlled FW dip. Ive heard mixed success on apps. like this.

I need something that treats the entire tank. We are at plague levels here
oh i get it. The idea being if they dip off, its easier to do a rock at a time. at plage levels beyond a rebuild or filefish / shrimp, id be at a loss.I need something that treats the entire tank. We are at plague levels here

I am going through the same here, massive Zoa die off wasting but no visual pest of any sort. My SPS, LPS and palys are growing like gang busters..

I fragged off a polyp that is showing signs of decline and snapped a bunch of pictures. I see some rings, but they appear to be under the skin of the zoa or maybe it is the skin? I also see some red dots too. Can I also say I love this new lens? Like LOVE it.
See the weird rings/lines?
Red dots on the left?

The rings are under the skin. I've seen nudi eggs before and these appear different than what I've seen.
Ummm.... I dunno
I cropped those images and slightly enhanced them in Lightroom.
got it, if you have enough light increase the aperture and reduce depth of field. increases sharpness.The rings are under the skin. I've seen nudi eggs before and these appear different than what I've seen.
Ummm.... I dunno
cant see a of of detail on the rings. and you do have other nudis. hmm

I put it in front of a window and used my iPhone as a side light to get it brighter. It's cloudy here today though, so not as bright as it could be.
Talk to me slowly about camera settings... I know of to increase the aperture, how high would you say to go? I think I shot those around 8, if memory serves. I tried using a faster shutter speed too, but I could go faster. That's how you reduce the depth of field, right?

HAHA I need lessons on my D40 (OT) sorry
8 to 11 or more. On the apature its all in the lens. the shutter compensates to allow more or less light so to speak, in APATURE Priotity. shutter slows movement.
