Tissue peeling

[JDP]

Just picked up a fresh cut Acro last weekend. Was doing fine, good polyp ext. Thursday started to peel at the cut and is moving up to the tip?!?

I am new to SPS? The other frag (well encrusted) different sp. Right next to the other is doing fine!

All my parameters I have learned from everyone is on target. 35 salinaty, 8.2 dkh, 8.2 ph, trace elements (Triton)

Any thoughts? Thank you

I would cut the good part off or cover the dead tissue with super glue for starters.

So is this a physical thing where the tissue is peeling because of water flow?

Looks like RTN (rapid tissue necrosis). It'll be a goner tomorrow if immediate actions aren't taken. Superglue up to the good tissue like mentioned. Or cut it off at the good tissue and remount it.

 

[JDP]

Understood! Thanks for all the advise!

 

[JDP]

Done. I just glued around, not much to cut and remount. Is this luck of the draw, mounting technique, or care of fresh cut?

 

[Mike J.]

If you could cure RTN you'd be a millionaire. It happens.
