A rescue story (mostly pictures)

[Mschmidt]

$100 it's for sure a rescue price. Picked it up yesterday and will get it out of the bag today when I get home.

What is it?! Looks rather largish :)
Looking forward to updates

acanthophyllia?

 

[Mschmidt]

Fairly large, yes. I meant to get a picture with the banana for scale, but dropped the ball there.

And pectinia.

Ida jumped on the $100 acantho rescue too. But there wasn't one.

Did you rescue it? Or are you just starting to try

Pectinia. I have a hard time keeping them. Share your secrets for success.

This is the beginning. I've had flesh receding, but not this bad.

Pectinia. I have a hard time keeping them. Share your secrets for success.

Right now, fingers and toes crossed, dirty tank, and some attention. I'm no whisperer, just bold (I hear there's fortune in that).

Thanks. I'll need it.

Yup. I think at this point the strong odds are against me. There is very little flesh, and it's been angry at me. Probably because in all my wisdom I let the salt hit 1.030.

We're down to 1.028 this morning but 20 to 1 odds have it it'll be dead in a week versus alive in a year.

As long as it is all the way dead. You can bring it back from mostly dead.

That's the hope. It'll stay as long as there's color and then a month or two after that's gone. Hoping it'll rebound like plates do.

Oh dude...

I still see spots that look like could be flesh... maybe

There's a little color around there, but this may just be a snuff thread, watching the poor thing die.

At least the environment is now suitable for success. Salt is back to a sensible 1.025 and the rest are a little lower than I typically run but within accessible parameters.
