What's your UGH... Melters story?

I had a gorgeous rock of a smaller zoa that was the most gorgeous red. It melted from about 50 polyps to 6. I had to dip, scrape, cut, frag and qt tank them. There's a couple of polyps left but they waiver from looking really good to closed up. Saddest thing ever!
 
Worst part is if I would have shared them with my buddies I would of had a back up .
A good Lesson learned.
I always share my high end coral with friends now this way I have a back up :)
 
Word around the campfire is fragging the mother colony can kick start more growth... yeah u should have fragged them buddy.... but on the flip side , I fragged my magician hat palys (the wrong way, just snipped heads off not knowing any better at the time which has worked on some different kinds but for the most part, I lost more then made it) and the colony hasnt been happy scince... luckily I have two colonies of said palys. But I feel had I fragged the right way the colony would be a Lil more happier at this point... another lesson learned... but this is how we learn... lucky for us r2r exists, we just have to remember to read all we can before we learn the hard way. Chances are somebody has went thru these trials and tribulations already, allowing us to learn from them.... good luck
 
Fake Real Reef rock being sold as premium fiji live rock and guaranteed pest free is what melted 20 kraks and ultimately crashed my system last year. I was only able to save 10% of my livestock and pretty much had to start over. You name the z/p and i probably lost it...LOL... The LFS was called Aquatic Warehouse they said that there was nothing they can do even though they were in the wrong with false advertising. If you stop in there tell them that Kevin (duke4130) says HI!!!...LOL
