Amazing tank.
I love how you use all real estate to add extra corals... even glass back panels, corners...
What salt do you use for the water changes?

@Mr V

I would seriously take a closer look at that confetti frag. It looks like it has been munched on by aefw.

Now you told me, I am scared.
Everything before put in my tank have passed thru 3 mins Revive heavy solution dip. I didn’t see anything came out.
I just check the frag again, don’t see any suspicious bite marks. Maybe it just skin peel out from dipping, but I will continue watching thought.

Sorry lol but had to say something. Have you ever had aefw? I have and mine were always mostly patches rather than individual bite marks. It looks a lot like that but the good news is there aren't any individual smaller bites that I can see which means it could be something else. Did you baste/blow off the coral while dipping? Here's an old pic of one of mine, a lot more obvious on mine though.

You got a good eye for spotting those subtle color discrepancies.

 

[Mr V]

You Johnny, I hate you man. One comment that took my Friday night away...[emoji28]
Just Kidding..
So I took all the new frag out, change new plug and dip again.
I used to dip some of the aefw infected frag with the same Revive concentration and it made the flatworm fall out within 30 sec. So it safe to say the 3 mins dip will kill all the adult flatworm if infected. But I still didn’t see anything came out...finger cross...[emoji53]
Then all frags are separated and will be dip for the next 4 weeks incase there’re eggs.


It’s not a fun procedure, but I always like the saying better be safe than sorry! [emoji6]

Haha I'm sorry. Glad you haven't found any. I just wanted to help you if I could! Any other frags look like the other one?

 

[Bronc]

I think those are all goners. Better just ship those to me in Oklahoma for disposal..

Is this one of the new arrivals? These are stress marks from loosing tissues when new acros are introduced. They happen in specific types of acros atleast for my system - acros like shortcakes or vivid rainbow delights etc. Never saw them happening for smooth skins. They always recover in the next 7 days or so.
AEFW bite marks do not run continuous and will be in patches . I find it hard to believe AEFW bite marks .

Do you have a QT for corals?

Yes Sir, it’s a relief reading your comment.
The coral is one of the new arrivals. Pics was taken a couple hours after arrival (and dipping).

I had 9 frags that came from the same seller. I dipped and inspected 2 frags at a time before introducing in the system. If I didn’t notice anything suspicious, I think it’s nothing suspicious!
In a reefer stand point, those marks look familiar to me as tissue damage from stresses (cause by trimming, dipping, and s transporting). But on a seller stand point, I recently sent frags to some reefers and currently holding frags for other reefers. If I don’t take any actions, there’ll be some unnecessarily concerned. [emoji4]
