RTN in the bag...

[BornHandy]

I just got in a black friday order, and RTN is present on thee of five corals. Two of the three have some living tissue, but do I try to save them, or give them up for dead?

Thanks in advance.

RTN in bag = refund.

You can try to save them too.

I'd get a refund. The seller may not have either:

1. Packaged them correctly, usually suspended from the top of the bag or mounted elsewhere.
2. Allowed for enough healing before shipping the frag or piece.

The seller says the DOA policy only covers if I contact them within two hours of the box arriving, but like most folks, I have a job. I am not sure when the box arrived, but all was packed very well, and the temp seemed really good.

I am concerned about introducing something to the healthy specimens if I just add them in - the living tissue is so little, I almost think it is a waste of time, but I hate to not give it a fighting chance.

I guess my question should have been, "Can RTN jump from an infected specimen to a healthy one"....

I always frag and pray, sometimes miracles happen. If you don't frag, they will die almost certainly.
