did you dip each piece in iodide or revive? ( to help prevent e infections)

Generally, I would dip in a disinfectant. For this experiment, we simple "swished" the corals in fresh saltwater. They are placed in an area of good flow, and seem to be responding well!

I'll get some updated pics out in the next couple of days!

Okay, here are some of the latest pics of our grafted Scolys. As you can see, they are all healing up well (except for an area of denuded tissue on one of the specimens, unrelated to the cut area. No evidence of true grafting yet, although one of the "Warpaint"/"Green Apple" pieces appears to be doing something interesting. Again, we're looking for more than just two independent halves of different specimens healing up independently...This phenomenon is especially evident in the one that we left a large deliberate "gap" between the halves.

So I don't know if we are there quite yet. Only time will tell... Regardless, it's pretty interesting! We'll keep you posted!
