macro in display = bad idea

Samper · 12-20-2005, 03:04 PM

I threw some caulerpa in my display for the tang to munch on. This morning I found it tangled up in my hammer coral. The hammer looks like crap. After searching around I found a post by Anthony Calfo saying that the macro can be very harmful to corals..wish I would have read that prior. I might lose a colony now...and if this brown jelly spreads I may have a melt down. Right now I'm looking at tissue recession....brown jelly....skeleton showing...polyps drooping and possibly contamintation of more corals.Dangit.

Hello,
Coral Dip by Seachem will usually stop brown jelly infection in its tracks.

HTH,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin....what about an iodine dip in the mean time?

I believe that's the main ingredient in the Reef Dip.

Regards,
Kevin
