This Bonsai Humilis arrived last Tuesday along with 2 other frags. Did a bit of acclimation, temp and 1/4 cup of water every 10 minutes for an hour. Placed in the tank and withing 24 it was nice fat and healthy looking. Then last night I saw white on one tip then today this. The other two frags from the shipment along with other 25 or so frags in the tank are fine.
I know this stuff happens from time to time with no explanation but dang its always one that has some special meaning it seems like :crying-face:
Is there anything I can do other than watching it? I have another tank with similar parameters but a little less light that is growing acro pretty well I thought about moving it to but I dunno if that would help.
Anyone have any suggestions? @Battlecorals?

Hi there,

sorry to see that little bit of good news little bit of bad news. good news is that is not the bonsai.

bad news is, I think you may have had a Ligonberry in your order and I believe that's what that is Any chance you could take a shot of the rest of the Frags and will be able to Id that bonsai for you?

Will certainly replace that Ligonberry next time as well

Fragging it might help - cut off the white part. Did you dose alkalinity by chance?
I started 2 part on a doser just before the frags arrived. I was dosing manually so having the dose spread out should be even better. Testing daily alk has been 8.4
What par is it in?
Par is only 280 during peak. I placed it low in th tank.

It probably got an infection from shipping stress and or new tank environment. Maybe a Kung fu dip?
