SSC Bleaching at the base

[starfishguy869]

Hello, after doing a 30% water change on my tank, overnight, the ssc had its base bleached. My alk also shifted by 1.4 units. Everything else is fine. If you want a photo, comment it. I think it rtn’d overnight. If I can do anything to save it, please comment it.

Fragging is likely your best bet at this point. Sucks. Good luck!

Is it going to give it a better chance of survival? It is a 1-inch frag. Are there other ways to save it?

Unfortunately this is a bacterial infection. You could potentially dip in iodine but i haven’t had much luck with STN and dipping. Fragging has worked for me in the past. I had one instance where I put crazy glue all over the part that was undergoing STN and the frag survived and is starting to grow.

I don’t have bone cutters but I do have wire cutters.
