War coral dying or dead?

[Calebb8133]

My tank just went through a big move and I don't think my war coral made it here is a pic...

Looks like there are areas that still have fluorescence. I would frag it and move on.

It might be past the frag point

Frag it? Looks like its pretty much toast. . . however. . . . Many of us have seen coral go to skeleton and come back after a couple of months. Blow off with a turkey baster and keep in path of moderate flow and maintain Good water quality and you never know

Theyre not big on bright light intensity and ph range of 8.0-8.2 is desired

War corals are super hardy. Find living tissue and frag a small piece. the fact that it glows under blues tells me it’s still has a chance. I’ve had a few set backs with moves, but have never had a total loss and still have all the original corals I started with.

How would I go about fragging it if that is the best option?

if stuck on glass bottom, careful scrape it loose with old credit card

Yep, just scrape him right off the bottom, frag a clean living piece, glue him to a plug. swap some h2o2 with a qtip around cut edges only, put in a high flow area preferably with the same light intensity. Good luck!

Ok thx I might bring him to a guy locally that will frag him for me. I need to get a CUC anyway so I can that too

Honestly not to much left in him ‍

All you need is a small piece no more then 1/4 inch. It’s rewarding to save a coral.
