You rinsed it with freshwater??? I tried that once with an acan and the acan lost all it's color. Now i just use iodine dip.

If you still have it next to the Ricordia you better move it. It is your killer and will continue to sting your scoly as they inflate and cross paths. There is your culprit

i'm amazed at how fast they do! i thought he was a goner i was so depressed as it's barely two weeks old in my tank

Nate,

I have had this happen more than once with the beautiful ricordia going to war with a scoly and for some crazy reason the beautiful ricordia wins. LOL Go figure

oceanparadise1 · Aug 18, 2008

this is why i love reef2reef because sponsors who have vast amounts of knowledge are actually allowed to share that info with us w/o being immediately accused of trying to push their product

Our sponsors are DA bomb! They are actually "sponsors" that help pay for the site to run, but also share a wealth of knowledge. ;)
