URGENT coral health

jollopee · 04-02-2006, 07:19 PM

Ok I think the frogspawn is dead and the sun coral. I was useing my feeder (looks like a turkey baster) and I was squirting some food at the corals and all the polyps from the frogspawn came flying out with brown mucus and so I did it to the sun coral and a bunch of orange dust came flying out. These are dead arent they.

I would say YES. Time to get them out, and cut your losses.

even if they had a bit of life left, i would still take them out. those last pics of them looked pretty bad.

Yeah they didnt look good, but I was hopeing it would change, guess not. The other 2 leathers i got from the same person are doing great though. The new blasto is doing great too, the seller is gonna refund me for the ones that died. I think they were dead when I got them though. I know those 2 black ones were dead and Im quite certain that frogspawn and sun coral were doa as well. Im a little upset but I really dont think there was anything I could have done.

at least you'll get your money back. he should give you gas money too. the good thing about buying corals at a lfs is that you know exactly what your getting. good to hear the others are doing well though!
